MSOpinion Joma Sison, the reds, Cory Aquino and UP “With the CPP-NPA-NDF finally leaderless, it’s time for local communists to give up their lost cause“

With the CPP-NPA-NDF finally leaderless, it’s time for local communists to give up their lost causeJose Maria Sison, the head of the Communist Party of the Philippines, New People’s Army and the National Democratic Front , passed away last December 16 in Utrecht, the Netherlands. He was 83 years old.

An often cited documented account reveals that Sison was the mastermind of the bombing of the August 1971 Liberal Party proclamation rally at Plaza Miranda in Manila. The fact that martial law saved the country from a communist takeover is now being realized by contemporary analysts and historians. It is why, until today, the CPP-NPA-NDF hate Marcos and continue to demonize him.

Those were enough reasons for many communist cadres to rethink their participation in the rebel movement.The reds made a tactical alliance with Leni Robredo and Kiko Pangilinan, the de facto Liberal Party candidates for president and vice president, respectively.Second, President Cory Aquino was responsible for keeping local communism alive after she seized power in February 1986, and ordered the release of Sison, detained during the Marcos administration.

Angry parents lament that they sent their children to UP with high hopes and expectations of a bright future for them, only to learn that their kids have been skipping classes, or have totally left for the boondocks to join the rebel movement.
