ILOILO City – The death of Jose Maria “Joma” Sison, founder of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP), has left a leadership vacuum in the organization, according to Major General Benedict Arevalo, commander of the Philippine Army’s 3rd Infantry Division (3ID).
“Joma Sison was a good leader and architect of the CPP – New People’s Army – National Democratic Front (CPP-NPA-NDF). Whoever would replace him won’t be as good,” said Arevalo.
Sison died at 83 years old on Friday, Dec. 16, after two weeks of confinement in a hospital in Utrecht, The Netherlands, according to CPP spokesperson, Marco Valbuena.
Sison had lived in self-exile in The Netherlands since then President Corazon Aquino released him from detention in 1986 shortly after the People Power revolt overthrew dictator Ferdinand Marcos, father and namesake of the current Philippine president.
With Sison gone, Arevalo said, the CPP would continue to deteriorate.
“They will have difficulty coming up with someone to replace Joma Sison,” he added.
