For sure and without doubt. I keep a crowbar separation between the military and the misuse of the military by elected officials. Half serious/Half jest - we’re tools, but tools wielded by those in power. Keep the blame on those who perpetuate the problems and deserve it.

So wait what makes the New People’s Army a militia? It’s got a centralized commanding body of government (the National Democratic front), thousands of members, and actively held red bases of control. It’s still in the Guerrilla stage but that doesn’t mean it’s a militia.
The difference is basically that militias are non professional militarized groups protecting and defending their communities and not nationalized, and don’t *have* to follow military orders. (It a little more complicated, but I am painting a pic in a single tweet.)

The NPA absolutely is required to follow orders of the CPP (Communist Party of the Philippines). It’s not defending a single community but is rather a national army engaged in a war. There are full timers, part timers; like reservists, and *also* local people’s militias
