For the nth time, President Duterte assured Communist Party of the Philippines founding leader Jose Maria Sison that the government was ready to pay for the latter’s board and lodging in the Philippines but he would not agree to a coalition.
” Let’s end this by just shaking our hands and we will resume the violent war. It leaves us no other alternative,” he said, referring to Sison in a speech before leaving Manila to South Korea early Sunday (June 3, 2018).
Duterte urged Sison to accept his offer in the name of peace. The President said he is bending a bit backwards to accommodate the exiled leader, now based in The Netherlands, as long as the communist ideologists won’t ask for term sharing or the set-up of a coalition government.
“But as I said, I’m willing to talk. Ako ang ga-guarantee sa billeting nila, pagkain, lahat. But my condition is that no demand for coalition. That is not acceptable to me at all and any other group for that matter asking autonomy. I will not and I will never agree of any splintered armed group na sabihin mo…,” he said.
Duterte is now in Seoul for a three-day official visit from June 3 to 5, 2018.
