As the convoy moved through Manila, the leader of the New People's Army (NPA), Commander Reyes, sat in the lead vehicle. From his window, the city's devastation was evident. The streets were filled with abandoned cars and the buildings were in ruins.
Commander Reyes, a middle-aged man with a hardened look, wore a simple military uniform. He had a rugged appearance, with a few scars on his face, indicative of his years in guerilla warfare. He was known for his strategic mind and unwavering dedication to his cause. As he looked out of the window, he clicked his tongue in frustration, blaming the government for their failure to contain the outbreak.
"The government was too slow to react," he mumbled to himself. "Their incompetence has led to this disaster."
