President Duterte is simply “lying and bluffing” when he claimed that the Communist Party of the Philippines is conniving with the Magdalo group, said CPP founding chairman Jose Maria Sison

“And I challenge him to present publicly what he claims as recorded conversations,” he said.

“He is simply not telling the truth when he says there already is conspiracy between CPP, Magdalo, and the Liberal Party. This is absolutely false… Walang nangyayaring pag-uusap. Imbento lang ni Duterte para palitawin ang galit ng masa,” he said in a Skype interview with CNN Philippines.

Duterte earlier claimed that the communist rebels are in cahoots with opposition groups like Senator Antonio Trillanes IV’s Magdalo and the Liberal Party, citing recordings provided to him by a foreign country “sympathetic” to him.

Sison added Duterte has shown he is worried to death and desperate as to imagine that he would be ousted next month.

“He is selling out the sovereign rights of the Filipino people over trillions of dollars worth of oil, gas and other natural resources in the West Philippine Sea in exchange for a few billion dollars worth of Chinese loans,” he said.

“The broad united front promoted by the CPP against the Duterte tyranny is open to all patriotic forces,” Sison said in an online interview from his base in Utrecht, The Netherlands.

Speaking to ANC, Jose Maria Sison said Duterte should be worried about losing support among the public because of the problems he has failed to address, like the rising inflation that has neared a 10-year high last month.

“Duterte is really crazy,” Sison said in an online interview from his base in Utrecht, The Netherlands on Tuesday
