He deliberately reneged on his promise to amnesty and release all political prisoners. He kept on terminating the peace negotiations (three times!) by raising to the press complaints which he should have submitted through his panel to the Joint Monitoring Committee in the same manner that the NDFP had submitted to this body bigger and more serious complaints against the continuance of AFP, PNP and CAFGU offensives during periods of ceasefire. The NDFP complaints involved AFP bombing of communities and mass murder of children, women and elderly people.

There will be a bigger civil war in the Philippines if Duterte succeeds in concentrating powers in his hands as a fascist dictator on top of an overexpensive layer of regional governments run by corrupt bureaucrats, big compradors, landlords, dynasties and warlords.

For both the GRP and NDFP, it is easier and more economical to seek lasting peace through negotiations to address the roots of the armed conflict and forge comprehensive agreements on social, economic and political reforms than to rely solely on the use of military force

Acting like the chieftain of a criminal gang, the fascist dictator obtains the personal loyalty of AFP and CAFGU officers and personnel by involving them in mass murder and bribing them with cash, promotions and other rewards. Thus, Duterte converts the AFP and CAFGU into his private army for committing crimes and supporting his fascist dictatorship.

I am quite different from Duterte who violates the JASIG and boasts of his brutal and bloodthirsty character by threatening to kill 5 NPA suspects (male or female) for every AFP soldier killed in battle. In fact, Duterte´s armed minions have run amuck by killing so many people on mere suspicion or sheer malice under Oplan Kapayapaan, Oplan Tokhang and Operation: Pacific Eagle-Philippines.

Sison emphasized in his statement that the NPA forces are robust enough to damage government forces. Sison said they can “eliminate” 510 government troops or some 5 companies every month nationwide.

With or without Duterte as president, the GRP will decide to negotiate peace when the people´s war can inflict larger casualties on enemy troops.

A new major war of resistance is practically brewing among the Maranaos and Iranons who call Dutete Duti or poison.

The real terrorists are the fascist clique and armed minions of Duterte in the AFP, PNP and paramilitary groups. They seek to generate hysteria against the CPP and NPA and likewise against all legal opposition groups, social activists, critics, the churches, press and others being accused of destabilizing the tyrannical regime.

Of course, when I first read the report on Duterte´s interview with Mindanews I had some misgivings that he did not mean what he said because of his notoriety for saying one thing and then saying the opposite within a short period and also because of his arrogance and anger in setting some absurd preconditions, like the CPP and NPA humbling themselves and capitulating to his tyrannical rule
