One could indeed argue that the New People's Army descended from the Huks.
But the Abu Sayyaff . . . I'd say the have more affinity for the juramentados that Gen Pershing faced during the American occupation of the Philippines . . . the folks who, according to legend, prompted the US to switch to the .45 cal M1911.
