Following the death of Communist Party of the Philippines founder Jose Ma. “Joma” Sison, it begs the question: who is the next leader of the revolutionary movement that he established 53 years ago?For the Armed Forces of the Philippines , there is nobody close to Sison’s caliber that is qualified to lead the CPP.Manila“If they want, I offer myself so the government can save all their recruits and move them away from harm,” he quipped.
“We are still monitoring the developments on the ground. The CPP has its organizational structure and process on how they fill in the vacuum in their leadership. It would be very difficult for the CPP to establish its new leader given the successive neutralization of their core leaders down to their armed components,” Trinidad said in a separate interview.
But Aguilar said localized peace talks, or the discussions at the local government level, is working since the ones involved are the communities that are affected by the insurgency. “The peace talks that we are talking at a higher level, we have observed that this did not turn out well. We have observed that so long as the CPP refuses to turn back their ideals of armed struggle, they will only use the peace talks as a means to support their primary means of struggle,” Aguilar stressed.
