MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0— Malaca\u00f1ang on Tuesday described the rant of Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) founding chair Jose Maria Sison, who described President Rodrigo R. Duterte\u2019s drug war as fake, as \u201can old tune with no takers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSison\u2019s latest rant that the war on drugs is fake and that President Rodrigo Roa Duterte is using the drug issue to deceive many of those who voted for him in 2016 and to impress the public that he is a dictator and tyrant is an old tune he has been singing with no takers,\u201d Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is like an echo in the wind reverberating across the vision of a failed revolutionary who is racing against time to find his cuckoo\u2019s nest,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Panelo earlier called Sison\u2019s rant as \u201cpsychologically challenged\u201d.<\/p>\n

He further said Sison\u2019s remarks are \u201cundeserving\u201d of a response from the government.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think twice already, about his rants — apart from saying they are psychology-challenged, they do not deserve a response from this government,\u201d Panelo said.<\/p>\n

Sison claimed thst Duterte used the country’s illegal drug problem as a means to “deceive” voters to elect him into presidency in 2016.<\/p>\n

The revolutionary leader has also claimed that majority of the President\u2019s senatorial bets, including his former aide Christopher \u201cBong\u201d Go, former Philippine National Police and Bureau of Corrections chief Ronald dela Rosa, and Ilocos Norte Gov. Imee Marcos are bound to lose in the mid-term elections.<\/p>\n

Both Panelo and the President himself has repeatedly called Sison a \u201cfailed revolutionary\u201d for losing his influence among his own men in the communist movement.<\/p>\n

The CPP-New People\u2019s Army (CPP-NPA) is listed as a terrorist organization by the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the Philippines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
