In a televised briefing, Duterte backed the AFP and said the groups are only being identified “as members in the grand conspiracy comprising all the legal fronts that they have organized headed by the National Democratic Front.” | NAMercadoINQ

Duterte likewise questioned the ideology of communists, saying they do not have one.

“There is no longer any ideology. Wala tong mga komunista.., gusto lang nila umagaw ng gobyerno. Mga bobo naman, ang p******a. Sino ang bright si Sison? ‘Yan ‘yung bright si Sison? Susmaryosep!” Duterte said, referring to exiled Communist Party of the Philippines founder Jose Maria Sison. The President also took a jab at Bayan Muna Rep. Carlos Zarate, a member of the Makabayan bloc in the House.

“Sa totoo, Zarate pag nakitakita sa TV, para akong nakakita ng tae ng iro. Para akong nakakita ng tae ng aso, sa totoo lang,” Duterte said. INQUIRER.net has asked Zarate’s camp for a comment but has yet to receive a response as of posting time. [ac]
