We now observe Duterte as a tyrant who has confused himself beyond recall or who has all along been mentally deranged.By some strong indications, he wants to be…

The de facto fascist dictatorship is “legally” based on the persistence of Proclamation No. 55 declaring a state of national emergency and Executive Order No. 70 aimed at militarizing government and society and making them fascist.

The NDFP does not want to be baited into accepting a war panel of the Duterte regime whose purpose is merely to seek the impossible, such as the surrender of the revolutionary forces, especially the New People’s Army.

Duterte is still pushing hard his scheme of fascist dictatorship through chacha for a bogus federalism

If Duterte doesn’t get what he wants with federalism and charter change, he would proclaim a state of emergency and martial law and make the CPP-NPA as scapegoats. That’s why he needs to sabotage the peace negotiations. With martial law, cha-cha would be easy to railroad. And with cha-cha, repressive rule, economic plunder and unbridled corruption, like during Marcos’ dictatorship, would be the norm for his family, corrupt officials, big business, and the Marcoses.

Duterte thinks that he can play off the US and China and get advantages for himself both ways. He gets Operation Pacific Eagle-Philippines from Trump to assure him of military assistance for killing Filipino revolutionaries and Bangsamoro rebels. And he gets from China pledges of infrastructure projects and loans for the purpose.

Duterte boasts of being a strong man and ever ready to kill Filipinos without due process and with impunity. He is obsessed with acquiring unlimited power as a fascist dictator and intimidating the people with martial rule and highly centralized powers in a pseudo-federal form of government.

The turmoil and breakup will certainly occur after the railroading of a pseudo-federal constitution in which all powers are overconcentrated in the hands of the fascist dictator Duterte who will lord over an overcostly layer of regional governments run by corrupt bureaucrats, big compradors, landlords, dynasties and warlords.
