"There is nothing new," Sison told GMA News Online, when asked for comment on Wednesday.
He said President Duterte "has always been engaged in all-out war even in 2016 and 2017 when he pretended to be for peace negotiations, but he has always failed to realize his pipe-dream of destroying the revolutionary movement."
Sison got back at Duterte, saying that the President's "chief interest" is "scapegoating the CPP and the NPA [New People's Army] as pretext for taking repressive measures against the people and imposing fascist dictatorship on them."
Earlier, Sison mocked the Duterte administration's announcement that it has coordinated with the INTERPOL for the communist leader's arrest by saying the disclosure smacks of "ignorance of the law."
At an event in Malacañang on Tuesday, Duterte said he will mobilize state forces to go all-out against the communist rebels.
Asked if this meant he has declared an all-out war against the communists, he said "Yes."
"Walang hintuan. Magpalit-palit ang mga batallion. ‘Yung walang masyadong gamit, walang masyadong kalaban…’dun naman sa kabila,” Duterte said.
Also, the President reiterated his commitment to eradicate the communists within his term which ends on June 30, 2022.
To recall, Duterte terminated the peace talks with the communist rebels in November 2017 through Proclamation 360.
