The Marcos regime is deceitfully manipulating the Filipino people’s sincere desire to put Sara Duterte on trial and hold her accountable for squandering public funds and other crimes. Marcos Jr should be condemned, along with his minions, for deliberately delaying the process of removing Sarah Duterte from power.
“In his desire to keep their family in power, Marcos wants to completely crush the Dutertes to thwart the plans of his rival to return to power in 2028,” said the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) in an editorial published in its newspaper, Ang Bayan.
“However, it seems he is toying with the people through the back-and-forth actions of his minions in the Senate… indicating a brewing deal among the corrupt reactionary factions.”
The CPP is aware of the rapidly spread of the people’s anger against attempts to block Sara Duterte’s trial and hold her accountable. It sees the growing isolation of the Marcos regime from the people, brought about by its relentless corruption and oppression of the masses.
“The bureaucratic capitalist, fascist, and puppet Marcos regime will bring no relief to the Filipino people,” the CPP stated. “Amidst the worsening crisis, the oppressed and suffering masses have no choice but to struggle.”
“The situation is pushing workers, peasants, the semi-proletariat, and other oppressed classes and sectors to unite in defending their livelihoods and democratic rights, and to direct their anger and protests against the Marcos regime, US imperialism, and its fascist puppets,” the Party added.
The CPP calls on its members to “take deep root among the Filipino masses to awaken and mobilize them, build their solid strength in the form of unions and mass organizations, and guide them in their struggles.”
