Palace slams Jose Ma. Sison who lives in the illusory world he has created for himself

Malacanang has slammed the insinuations made by Communist Party of the Philippines exiled party leader Joma Sison in the occasion of the CPP anniversary.

Sison is still in the belief that communism is the best answer to all the ills of society, to which he is clearly wrong.

“a growing number of their members are turning a new leaf in their lives as they begin to go back to the mainstream of society. Many of them are realising that their past struggles and sacrifices have led to nothing except the shedding of bloodshed among and between Filipinos, family members being separated from each other, productive lives of young, ideal and even brilliant minds wasted on the hills, and always on the run fighting a lost cause abandoned even by those who advanced it”

His ideology is already dead years ago, what they are now is a terrorist group, engaged to destroy a society who longs to live peacefully.

“The pontifications of the ageing and ailing revolutionary are coming from a megalomaniac as aptly described by a serious student of political history. Such a pitiful and tragic ending of someone whose brilliance, used to be revered by the youth of the seventies, has since then been dulled, by failing to embrace the realities of world politics and to accept the comatose state of a dying ideology. Even their former allies are distancing themselves from them.“

Malacanang even gave the stark realities of what is really happening to what Sison would like to believe in his own mind.

“His decade-long comfortable and luxurious self-exile in Europe has placed blinders in his eyes hence he could not see the transformation of society initiated and propelled by the strong-willed leadership of the former Mayor of Davao City. Foreign financial organizations foresee the Philippines as the fastest growing economy in the Asia-Pacific in 2020. Employment hits a 14-year high. High inflation is now a thing of the past. Almost six million Filipinos have been lifted out of poverty.”

On Mr. Sison's CPP anniversary message

Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) founding chairperson, Jose Ma. Sison, is really living in an illusory world he has created for himself. His remarks to his cadres on the occasion of the CPP anniversary entitled, "Duterte regime goes downhill as revolutionary movement rises," is proof of his hallucination. It is his movement that is on downhill while the Duterte presidency keeps on rising and the surge in his popularity and trust rating is a resounding proof.

The fact is, a growing number of their members are turning a new leaf in their lives as they begin to go back to the mainstream of society. Many of them are realising that their past struggles and sacrifices have led to nothing except the shedding of bloodshed among and between Filipinos, family members being separated from each other, productive lives of young, ideal and even brilliant minds wasted on the hills, and always on the run fighting a lost cause abandoned even by those who advanced it.

The pontifications of the ageing and ailing revolutionary are coming from a megalomaniac as aptly described by a serious student of political history. Such a pitiful and tragic ending of someone whose brilliance, used to be revered by the youth of the seventies, has since then been dulled, by failing to embrace the realities of world politics and to accept the comatose state of a dying ideology. Even their former allies are distancing themselves from them. The European Union which has been releasing funds to the local communist fronts has vowed to stop its financial aid after their money-making scams have been unmasked.

Mr. Sison spoke of the worsening conditions of "underdevelopment, high unemployment, low income, soaring prices of basic commodities and mass poverty." His decade-long comfortable and luxurious self-exile in Europe has placed blinders in his eyes hence he could not see the transformation of society initiated and propelled by the strong-willed leadership of the former Mayor of Davao City. Foreign financial organizations foresee the Philippines as the fastest growing economy in the Asia-Pacific in 2020. Employment hits a 14-year high. High inflation is now a thing of the past. Almost six million Filipinos have been lifted out of poverty.

We dare Mr. Sison to come to the Philippines for a one-on-one meeting with the President to forge a lasting peace agreement. PRRD guarantees that he will not be arrested upon his arrival and after the meeting he can freely leave for Netherlands when he so desires.

His refusal to have a personal dialogue with his former student in the Philippines betrays his insincerity.

In a Facebook interview he demands from the government the production of the orders suspending the military and police operations against the communist rebels. He threatens to cancel the ceasefire if these orders are not shown to the NDF panel. These orders are not forthcoming, Sison and his comrades can proceed with the cancellation of the ceasefire and the President will oblige them. In the first place, they have violated their own declared unilateral ceasefire. So there is not even logic in their threat.

Mr. Sison must disengage himself from his fantasy before his illusions develop into something medically perilous.
