Interview Series with Prof. Jose
Maria Sison on "Terrorist" Tag
by Sonny Mallari, Philippine Daily Inquirer
August 18, 2004
Ka Joma,
Unlike the GRP, which is in fact a
puppet and beggar to the US and other imperialist governments, the
NDFP is an alliance of revolutionary forces that is determined to
undertake anything (especially armed revolution) in order to
achieve the people's demand for national liberation and
democracy. What the imperialists and their puppets wish is to
blackmail and pressure the revolutionary forces with the
"terrorist" listing and to cause their capitulation and
destruction.

By Prof. Jose Maria Sison
Chief Political Consultant
National Democratic Front of the Philippines|
15 August 2004
Contrary to what officials of the Macapagal-Arroyo regime say, the

negotiations.

Governments Want to Destroy The Filipino People's Movement for
National Liberation?
By Prof. Jose Maria Sison
Chief Political Consultant
National Democratic Front of the Philippines
14 August 2004
The US, British and Dutch governments represent and protect
the biggest Western monopoly interests in the Philippines. These
are the Chevron Texaco Malampaya LLC, and Royal Dutch Shell. Each
of them owns 45 percent of the total investments of at least 4.5
billion US dollars in the Malampaya deepwater gas-to-power
project. more...

favors to Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaida
By Prof. Jose Maria Sison
Chief Political Consultant
National Democratic Front of the Philippines
August 12, 2004
Since 9/11, George W. Bush has done a lot of favors to Osama bin
Laden and Al Qaida.
He has dignified them by mixing them up with national liberation
movements, anti-imperialist leaders, religious institutions and
charitable foundations in lists designating all as "terrorists."

Bush Regime is Sabotaging the
GRP-NDFP Peace Negotiations and Escalating US Military
Intervention in Philippines
By Prof. Jose Maria
Sison
Chief Political Consultant
National Democratic Front of the Philippines
11 August 2004
The Bush regime is sabotaging the peace negotiations between the
Government of the Republic of the Philippines (GRP) and the
National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP) by having the
US State Department and the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC)
of the US Treasury Department renew the listing of the Communist
Party of the Philippines (CPP), the New People’s Army (NPA) and
the NDFP chief political consultant as "terrorists".

On the Withdrawal of Filipino Mercenary Troops from IRAQ and Shameless Blabbering of US Government Officials
By Jose Maria Sison
Chief Political Consultant
National Democratic Front of the Philippines
22 July 2004
I share the joy of the Filipino nation and the family of Angelo de la Cruz over his release and homecoming. I congratulate the cause-oriented organizations headed by Bayan and Migrante International, all other patriotic forces and the broad masses of the Filipino people for successfully pressing the Macapagal-Arroyo regime to withdraw the contingent of Filipino mercenary troops from Iraq and thus pave the way for the release of Angelo de la Cruz from his Iraqi captors.

By Jose Maria Sison
Chief Political Consultant
National Democratic Front of the Philippines
7 July 2004
Information has reached me that propagandists of Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo
are spreading the ludicrous lie that I support her so-called
10-point agenda and in effect her rigged election to the
presidency of the reactionary government of big compradors and
landlords. more...
The US Cannot Extricate Itself from Iraqi Quagmire by Setting Up the Puppet Iraqi Interim Government
By Prof. Jose Maria Sison
General Consultant
International League of Peoples' Struggle
28 June 2004
For French Translation
The US is so flagrantly hell-bent on holding on to the fruits of its criminal war of aggression against the people of Iraq. It wants to control and own the oil resources of Iraq in order to tighten its grip on the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries. It wants to keep 14 US military bases and more than 135,000 US troops in Iraq in order to control the entire Middle East, allow Israel to slaughter the Palestinian people and humiliate all the Arab people. It is monopolizing all kinds of business priivileges and contracts, especially reconstruction contracts and military sales, in order to appropriate the oil resources and income of Iraq. more...
Do the GRP-NDFP Peace Negotiations Stop the People's Resistance?
By Prof. Jose Maria Sison
Chiel Political Consultant
National Democratic Front of the Philippines
27 June 2004
Without resistance, the people have no hope of achieving
national liberation and democracy against US imperialism and the local
exploiting classes. One reactionary regime of the GRP after another
has agreed to negotiate with the NDFP because of the growing revolutionary
armed strength of the people. more...

Massive cheating can
ignite protest movement to topple the regime
By Prof. Jose Maria Sison
NDFP Chief Political Consultant
15 May 2004
As chief political consultant of the National Democratic Front of
the Philippines, I am critical of the May 10, 2004 elections of
the reactionary government in a fundamental way. These elections
are mainly and essentially a contest for power among competing
political factions and agents of the pro-imperialist exploiting
classes of big compradors and landlords. These elections are not
really democratic exercises. They are meant to exclude the genuine
representatives of the toiling masses and other exploited people.

Campaign of Hatred, Murder and
Intimidation Against Progressive Parties Must Stop
By Prof. Jose Maria Sison
Chief Political Consultant
National Democratic Front of the Philippines
May 2, 2004
The campaign of hatred, murder and intimidation unleashed by the
Macapagal-Arroyo regime, especially by national security adviser
Norberto Gonzales and military and police officials, against the
progressive parties in the party list contest is dastardly and
reprehensible and must stop immediately.

Founding Chairman of the Communist Party of the Philippines
By David Hungerford
December 25, 2003
Question: When you work in imperialist countries in support of
revolutionary movements in oppressed countries, what are the
specifically communist tasks?
Jose Maria Sison (JMS): Persevere in carrying out the
ideological, political and organizational tasks for developing
the revolutionary movement in the imperialist countries and for
supporting the revolutionary movements in oppressed countries.
You must have a home base for supporting the struggles of the
people abroad. more...
Interview with
Jose Maria Sison
By Juan Sarmiento
Editor, "Talk of the Town", Philippine Daily Inquirer
22 November 2003
Reply: I got some amount of hearsay and reliable
statements from various people. You must take into
acccount the distance between the Netherlands and Philippines,
particularly the time gap between a Philippine event and any
kind of report about it. By the way, you do not mention
Kampanyang Ahos, which was the very worst of the bloody
witchhunts. more...
Stand

Against the Imperialist Master and
the Puppet
By Prof. Jose Maria Sison
Founding Chairman, Communist Party of the Philippines
Chief Political Consultant, NDFP Negotiating Panel
18 October 2003
The occasion reminds
the entire nation of the malevolent relationship between the
imperialist superpower and the chief representative of local
reactionary classes in perpetuating the semi-colonial and
semi-feudal character of Philippine society, in escalating
oppression and exploitation and maintaining the current
anti-national, anti-democratic corrupt and brutal regime. more...
The
US-Directed GMA-Reyes Tandem Blocks Formal GRP-NDFP Talks
By Prof. Jose Maria Sison
Chief Political Consultant
National Democratic Front of the Philippines
July 30, 2003
Their trick in preventing the peace negotiations is to insult
and challenge the NDFP by repeatedly telling it to capitulate or
else suffer the worst of military campaigns. The way of
capitulation offered is the immediate signing of a "final
peace agreement" one-sidedly made by the GRP. The worst of
military campaigns are already being waged under the pretext of
war against terrorism and are sustained by US military
intervention and increased military supplies from the Pentagon. more...
Protest
Action by Hundreds of Soldiers Exposes Rottenness of US-Arroyo
Regime
By Prof. Jose Maria Sison
Chief Political Consultant
National Democratic Front of the Philippines and
General Consultant
International League of Peoples’ Struggle
28 July 2003
The grievances of the soldiers have reverberated not only
throughout the Philippines but also the entire world. They are
well-grounded. They should not be obscured by retaliatory
attacks from the regime. They give the protesting soldiers the
just and reasonable cause for demanding the resignation of
President Arroyo and defense secretary General Angelo Reyes. more..
Interview With Prof. Jose Maria Sison
By Sonny Mallari
Southern Tagalog Correspondent
Philippine Daily Inquirer
July 25, 2003
Channel 7 has reported in Manila that the Dutch government has
ordered the freezing of all your bank accounts and
has also deprived you of all social benefits due to you as a
recognized political refugee.
Reply: You must be referring to the July 15 ruling of the
Utrecht municipal court that it does not have the power to grant
to me provisional measures (i.e. the restoration of social
benefits while the case about the validity of withdrawing
these is being tried in court). I have instructed my
Dutch lawyers to accelerate the consolidation of my
complaints against the punitive measures taken against me and
the violations of my rights. more...

By Freedom Siyam
AnakBayan Seattle
Seattle, Washington, USA
4 June 2003
1. Can you tell us how and why Kabataang Makabayan was
established and what were its highlights?
Answer: The Kabataang Makabayan was established in response to
the need for a patriotic and progressive organization of the
Filipino youth. From the beginning on November 30, 1964, it was
committed to arouse, organize and mobilize the youth from the
toiling masses of workers and peasants and the middle social
strata for the revolutionary struggle for national liberation
and democracy. This struggle is directed against US imperialism,
feudalism and bureaucrat capitalism. more...

Literature at De La Salle University
Concerning PRISON AND BEYOND, book of poems by JOSE MARIA
SISON
1. Whom would you consider as most influential in your
involvement with the concerns of the masses?
Answer: I observed closely the conditions of the peasants in
my hometown and subsequently those of the workers in Manila. In
the university, I studied the writings of the patriots in the
old democratic revolution (Andres Bonifacio, Jose Rizal,
Apolinario Mabini, etc.) up to the latest of the Filipino
progressive anti-imperialists (Crisanto Evangelista, Claro Mayo
Recto, Teodoro Agoncillo, Amado Hernandez, Renato Constantino,
etc.). Then, I studied the great communists Marx, Engels, Lenin,
Stalin and Mao. more..
Interview
with Prof. Jose Maria Sison
By Sharon Cabusao, for Pinoy Weekly
April 20, 2003
1. How is your situation over there?
The Dutch government and the European Council are still
harassing me upon orders of the US imperialists. I am still
listed as a "terrorist" in documents of the
imperialists who are the real terrorists. They continue to
withhold the social benefits due me as a recognized political
refugee. But we fight back. We defend our rights. The support of
the broad masses, competent lawyers and respected personages all
over the world further strengthens my position. more...

By Prof. Jose Maria Sison
March 19, 2003
The broad masses of the people all over the world, including
those in the US and imperialist countries allied with the US,

PNP Murder
Complaint Has Absolutely No Basis in Fact and in Law
By Prof. Jose Maria Sison
12 February 2003
The Philippine National Police (PNP) has absolutely no basis in
fact and in law to file a murder complaint against me for the
death of Col. Rodolfo Aguinaldo.
The attempt of the PNP to link me with those originally accused
of being responsible for the killing of Col. Aguinaldo is
manifestly contrived and malicious. I have no connection
whatsoever with anyone of them. more...

President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and some of her cabinet

The military, police, paramilitary and "vigilante"

operations with impunity against the revolutionary forces and

the Philippines
by Arlene Burgos
Kyodo News-Manila Bureau
* what are the prospects of
the ndf resuming peace talks with the government? will the ndf
ever agree to the proposal for a single comprehensive agreement?
JMS Reply: The Government of the Republic
of the Philippines (GRP) is blocking the resumption of the
formal peace talks between the GRP and NDFP negotiating
panels. The obstacles put up by the GRP include the
following: the extreme puppetry of the Arroyo regime to
the US, the all-out war policy against the revolutionary
movement, the indecent proposal to scrap all previous joint
agreements and the threats to label the NDFP as
"terrorist" in a futile attempt to make it capitulate.

By Prof. Jose Maria Sison
3 November 2002
The Government of the Republic of the Philippines (GRP) under
the Macapagal-Arroyo regime has grievously violated all major
agreements in its peace negotiations with the National
Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP). These agreements
include The Hague Joint Declaration, the Joint Agreement on
Safety and Immunity Guarantees (JASIG) and the Comprehensive
Agreement on Respect for Human Rights and International
Humanitarian Law (CARHRIHL). Thus, the GRP has unilaterally
terminated its peace negotiations with the National Democratic
Front of the Philippines (NDFP). more...
