Career edit
Jesus Lava became the Secretary General of the pro-Soviet PKP after the arrest of his brother José Lava.[2] In 1968, part of the membership of the party split to create a new Maoist Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP). Lava, the General Secretary of the already disappearing PKP, was labelled a "counterrevolutionary revisionist".
Family edit
Jesus Lava was the youngest of nine children of Adeodato Lava and Maria Baltazar.[3] The Lavas were a prominent family in Bulacan in the Philippines.[4]
