Sison's Blunders, Duterte's split personality and the Clash of Clans come 2019

It pains me to think that our lives have been inexpicably linked with the cha-cha of these two old gentlemen--Jose Maria Sison and President Rodrigo Roa Duterte. I am willing to accept the fact that Sison being gullible is probably due to old age, and Duterte's acts is simply due to his split personality created by so much Fentanyl. The fact remains that these two gentlemen are representatives of two strong forces with resources to boot and armed at that and any miscalculated move by any one of them would bring us to certain oblivion is something already established and unfortunately, both men are still dancing their own version of cha-cha.

Why is Sison acting like a mendicant? At one point, Sison issued strong statements against Duterte, even predicting his imminent fall. And then here he is announcing the arrival of his Communist colleague and is publishing his words so as to communicate to the "other side", meaning Mr. Duterte's camp that Sison's group is still very much open to talks? Sison is showing his slip so many times, to the detriment of the entire revolutionary movement. Blame it on his frequent karaoke gigs? Or simply Mr. Sison is too "out of touch" or is being given dirty information from here.

Sison probably does not know that much about his student, Mr. Duterte. Mr. Duterte is a scheming sonafabitch. He has sold his soul to the devil and those whom he lambasted before. He simply does not have the backbone strong enough to repel the forces of evil in this country. His loyalties are to his friends who are now acting as they are the new oligarchs of this country, fattened by commissions from Mr. Duterte's much ballyhooed "build, build, build" project and for kowtowing to Chinese interests.

Sison's ambivalence is causing the entire revolutionary movement so much dent on its reputation, the people does not know anymore if this movement is indeed the one they need to choose when shit hits the fan. I mean come on! The old party is even better and more politically savvy than Mr. Sison.

Sison's blunders are really weakening the revolutionary movement so much that many are thinking of abandoning the cause because the direction the movement is taking is pretty much doomed. Sison is still holding on to that promise of Mr. Duterte's that he is very much willing to part his powers with the movement in exchange for peace.

Time and again, Mr. Duterte has announced publicly that he is not considering that-- he is much more inclined to share power with the military--some of them in fact--- because Duterte knows that they are the only capable force willing and able to subject these oligarchs to utter humiliation.

The thing against Mr. Duterte is the belief that such a military is indeed acting independently from the oligarchs when the fact of the matter is, the military is also being used as a tool by these oligarchs to further dominate the state.

These two gentlemen are living their own fantasies to the detriment of the Filipino People. Sison must realize early on that Mr. Duterte's administration would definitely resist giving the revolutionary movement their share of the power pie. And that Sison's group is being seen right now as an enemy because it is the only organized armed force with the capabilities of neutralising the possibility of a military regime arising out of this ensuing political drama.

Like what I said in previous blogs, we are facing an era similar to that of 1985 when powers behind Malacanang's curtains are struggling against each other, and fighting for the right to ascend the throne the very minute God decides to prolong Mr. Duterte's power naps.

Yes, there is a problem of succession and forces allied with Mr. Duterte would simply not allow the Vice President and her allies to regain power--even a win in this mid-term elections would simply be too unacceptable. There is simply no honor among thieves from the camps of Mr. Duterte and that of  Robredo's. The earlier they realize this, the better resolved this issue will be.

These two camps are in for an inevitable clash of forces by next year. There are irreconcilable differences between these two groups that a democratic solution is simply too far fetched an idea to even be explored at this very moment and even by next year's. The booty is worth trillions of pesos and these hungry predators would simply not give others even a teeny bit of the entire money pie.
