Manila, Philippines – Communist Party of the Philippines founder
Jose Maria Sison told the militant groups to prepare for a “people’s war” against
the administration of President Rodrigo Duterte.
Following the extension of martial law in Mindanao region
for one year, Sison said that the president will eventually put the rebels as "main target" under the pretense of nationwide martial law.
Malacañang, on the other hand, assured the public that the
Philippines will never suffer dictatorship under president Duterte and the country will not be put on nationwide martial law.
Sison cited that the president will eventually “surpass” the
level of Marcos’s dictatorship as he warned that the “gross and systematic” human
rights violation in Mindanao would certainly rise up after President Duterte targets
the rebels mainly.
The CPP founder pointed out that “people’s war” is the answer
to martial law extension.
“As in the time of Marcos, the battle cry of the
revolutionaries today is: People’s war is the answer to martial law!” Sison said.
Meanwhile, Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque countered
that government and the military have not abused their powers since martial law
was first declared in May to fight off terrorist in Marawi city.
Roque said that President Duterte’s martial is different
from late Ferdinand Marcos’s ruling.
“This is not the same martial law that we had in 1972.
Courts remain functioning, Congress remains existing, the Bill of Rights and
the Constitution is enforced,” Roque said in a news briefing.
So, I don’t think there’s been any legal basis for the fears
of many that there will be the return of dictatorial rule. Neither has there
been any systematic or gross violations of human rights so far,” he said.
The Department of National Defense will give monthly update
to the House and the Senate on carrying out martial law extension in Mindanao.
