People’s Army, could “stage tactical offensives” in honor of its late founder, Jose Maria “Joma” Sison.
“With the death of Mr. Sison, it is our hope that it will also put an end to the local communist armed conflict that claimed the lives of so many Filipinos and pushed back development in the countryside,” OPAPRU chief Carlito Galvez Jr. said in a statement.He also noted that the passing of Sison marked “the end of an era in the nation’s history.”
“His death deprived the Filipino people of the opportunity to bring this fugitive to justice under our country’s laws. Sison was responsible for the deaths of thousands of our countrymen,” the agency said. In an interview on Super Radyo dzBB, Azurin said: “We mourn passing…It’s unfortunate that he won’t be able to witness the trial that he would have faced for the many years of violent incidents, sowing terror in which over 50,000 died or were killed.”
The Armed Forces of the Philippines said Sunday it did not currently see any problems from the CPP with the passing of Sison. A former university professor, Sison founded the CPP in 1968, along with a movement that would later become the world’s longest ongoing communist insurgency. For his part, Azurin said: “It’s unfortunate he could not see whether he’s guilty or whether he can defend himself. I hope that they [CPP-NPA] will not create any more troubles.
Galvez also called on members of the CPP to make use of the socio-economic assistance that the national government provides to former rebels under its local peace engagement and transformation programs.
