The central committee of the CPP has set a 10-day mourning period in honor of its founding chair, Jose Maria “Joma” Sison, during which its armed wing, the NPA, can “stage tactical offensives against the rampaging fascist forces to defend the people.”
The CPP scoffed at the Department of National Defense’s claim that Sison’s death symbolized the demise of his movement.
Saying it would forever be “guided and inspired by Ka Joma’s immortal revolutionary spirit,” the CPP central committee urged members to “forever keep red his memory and legacy and strengthen our determination to continue and bring forward the revolution….”Sison died on Friday after two weeks in a hospital in Utrecht, the Netherlands, where he had been living in self-exile since 1987 after peace talks with the government bogged down. He was 83.
On March 29, 1969, the CPP formed the NPA, its armed wing, in a village in Tarlac province. The first ragtag Maoist-inspired guerrillas were armed with automatic rifles, single-shot rifles and handguns.
