Veteran Activist Renato Reyes “Honors” Late CPP Founder Joma Sison
Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (Bayan) secretary-general Renato Reyes penned a message to honor the late Joma Sison.
Renato took to Facebook to pay tribute to former Communist Party of the Philippines leader Joma Sison, who died on December 17, 2022. Reyes reflected on Sison’s contributions to the country in a Facebook post.
“We honor the man who led the founding of the revolutionary party of the proletariat that continues to fight for national and social liberation in the Philippines,” said Reyes.
“His impact on Philippine society as well as on the global stage is far-reaching indeed,” he added
He even stated that although Sison’s detractors were celebrating, they would continue what the communist leader had begun. Renato also stated that Sison’s life should cause them to reflect on the social evils he battled against and the urgent need for reform.
“In the end, a revolution does not revolve around one man. The vultures will gloat today, but they will be ultimately frustrated because the seeds of resistance have already been planted and these will continue to grow wherever oppression and injustice exist.” he stated.
“The life of Jose Ma. Sison should lead us to take a hard look at the social ills that he fought against, and the pressing need for change. The cause of just peace can only be attained if the roots of the armed conflict are finally addressed. We know for a fact, that in the face of widespread repression and exploitation, the people will continue to fight, by all means necessary, until they are free.” he added in his post.
The cause of Sison’s death was not disclosed by CPP. Meanwhile, his detractors celebrated his death, claiming that Sison had been a stumbling block to the country’s peace for decades.
