Joma Sison: ‘Gay rebels molesting Baste Duterte a fake story’

MANILA, Philippines — President Duterte just invented the story that members of the New People’s Army kissed his son Baste during the turnover of policemen who were captured by the NPA, Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) founding chairman Jose Ma. Sison said yesterday.

In a statement posted on the National Democratic Front (NDF) website, Sison said the NPA has a strict rule on discipline against sexual molestation.

“In making a joke, Duterte has obviously invented the story that gays in the NPA brought his son Baste to the woods to be subjected to kissing, mashing and other acts amounting to molestation,” Sison said.

He added that, if true, the rebels who kissed Baste would be subjected to disciplinary action.

“There is a strict NPA rule of discipline against sexual molestation and taking sexual liberties against the will of others. It is up to the NPA command concerned to inform us how Baste was treated,” the communist leader said.

Aside from disciplinary action, those rebels who did it might have experienced discomfort upon discovering the truth of what Duterte had earlier said that he and Baste are “congenital stinkers because the sewage system of their bodies cannot dispose of the waste of their food intake and they suffer long periods of constipation.”

Sison said the most unbelievable part of the Duterte joke is the claim that 40 percent of NPA fighters are gay.

“How can he make such a survey finding when his military and police minions cannot even locate the thousands of Red commanders and fighters in more than 110 guerrilla fronts? These armed revolutionaries reveal their momentary location only when they are already ambushing or raiding his armed minions,” he claimed.

For him, Duterte is again exposing his misogynist and anti-gay character with machismo humor. – With Artemio Dumlao
