ANOTHER COMMUNIST BREAKAWAY: OUT TO TAKE EXTREME MEASURES (“IED in DOJ and DA linked on CPP-NPA”)

The cold war between Communist Party of the Philippines Chairman-in-absentia Jose Maria “Joma” Sison and its acting-Chair Benito Tiamzon stirred dissenters among Central Luzon and Mindanao cadres. Benito was rumored eyeing the Chairmanship vacated by Joma as the latter cowardly seek asylum in the Netherlands. Furthermore, Benito was to share the Communist throne with wife-Wilma who was hailed as the CPP-NPA’s Imelda Marcos. As the two Leftist stalwarts battle it out for the Chairmanship, the CPP-NPA is running on a broken chain of command.

Logistics across Southern Mindanao Regional Commands have depleted in less than six months following the renegade status of its major players-Leoncio Pitao alias Kumander Parago and its Finance leader-Catherine Guino-o Cacdac. The Joma-influenced south is said to be in the mercy of the Tiamzon couples who is battling Sison’s ouster in the CPP Central Committee. The need to alienate the guerilla fronts in Mindanao is the Tiamzon couple’s way of severing Joma’s clout in the south. By the looks of it, Tiamzon calls the shot of who gets to be feed among the Left. Joma is a mere figure head. Sison’s influence remains a threat to the Tiamzon’s ascendancy to the throne but the pull of power concentrates nonetheless on the will of the self-imposed CPP-NPA Chair-Tiamzon.

On the other hand, the cadres in Greater Manila and South-Central Luzon who remained loyal to the CPP-founder Joma were themselves estranged under Tiamzon’s rule. They were placed on the bottom of the Leftists food and cash chain. The cadres were engineered to machinate political ambitions of Tiamzon-raised progressive leaders. Like emasculated men, the cadres in Luzon who were made to live under the doctrine of Mao-Tse-Tung thought had to swallow democratic exploitations and give-up their armed campaign. Like stringed moppets, the cadres in Luzon were forced by the Tiamzon to serve the favor of Bayan Muna’s Satur Ocampo and Teddy Casiño. Misled that the move to support Ocampo and Casiño are as advised by Sison, the cadres vowed allegiance to the supposed 2010 resurrection of CPP-NPA’s venture in mainstream politics. But as all deceit gets revealed, the cadres in Luzon are now taking extreme tactics to resuscitate the dying Mao-Lenin-Marx ideology.

The blast in the DOJ as well as the IED found in the DA were supposedly part of this contingency measures. The going back to the basics of armed resolved had to be in place. These cadres are determined to pull Communist idealists back to their roots. The legal arena does not work well with the revolution, Joma and the Tiamzons are well aware of it, but unfortunately their selfish ambitions come in the way. The DOJ and DA were deemed potent lab rats to test fire the CPP-NPA hierarchy’s reorientation to the armed struggle.

Evidently, the rumored August Moon was a fitting cover used by the CPP-NPA dissenters to turn the table of blames around. Like the façade used in the Plaza Miranda Bombings, the stir of instability to the reactionary administration is just the needed escape goat of the CPP-NPA to hide its own set of coup d’état and power struggle.
