The determination to return the stays of Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) founding chairman Jose Maria “Joma” Sison to the Philippines might be as much as his fast household, Armed Forces of the Philippines spokesperson Col. Medel Aguilar stated Monday.
“We cannot speculate yet on what the decision of the immediate family…Maybe we should ask them first where they want to bury the remains of Professor Sison,” Medel stated at a televised public briefing.
Meanwhile, the CPP stated Monday it is not going to be declaring a ceasefire in the course of the vacation season this yr.
In an announcement, the CPP central committee stated there may be “absolutely no reason to declare a ceasefire” to mark the holidays, its upcoming 54th anniversary, and mourn the death of Sison.
Last week, the AFP said it dominated out declaring a ceasefire with the CPP-NPA for the Christmas season.
“Ceasefire is ruled out because of leadership vacuum within the CPP after the neutralization of many of its top leaders,” Medel Aguilar instructed GMA News Online in a message Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Senator Ronald dela Rosa expressed perception that the loss of life of Sison will result in the communist insurgent’s extinction.
“Prior to the death of Joma Sison, CPP-NPA-NDF, yung insurgency [sa] ating bansa brought about by the CPP-NPA-NDF was already dying and the more it will going to its extinction kapag namatay na si Joma Sison,” Dela Rosa stated in an ANC interview.
“Whoever will be designated by the Communist Party to succeed Joma Sison will face extreme difficulty in reviving a fake cause. Mahirapan na sila dahil the people have awaken. Mahirapan silang manloloko ng tao. Ganon ang mangyayari doon,” he added.
Although he’s a staunch supporter of presidency’s bid to finish insurgency within the nation, Dela Rosa sees no drawback with the return Sison’s stays within the Philippines.
“Wala po akong problema d’yan kasi (I have no problem with that because) first of all let us admit it and let’s set the record straight, he was not exiled by the government. He was self-exiled [and] that led him to the Netherlands,” Dela Rosa stated.
“So kung iuwi siya dito, for humanitarian reasons, tao rin naman ‘yan, Pilipino din naman ‘yan at may mga pamilya ‘yan dito na naghihintay, pauwiin natin para mabigyan siya ng magandang libingan ng kanyang mga mahal sa buhay,” he added.
(If they may return his stays to the Philippines, for humanitarian causes—as a result of he’s additionally a human, a Filipino, and he has a household ready for him right here— then we must always permit it so his family members can provide him a correct burial.)—AOL, GMA Integrated News
