COMMUNIST Party of the Philippines (CPP) founder Jose Maria “Joma” Sison on Thursday welcomed the assurance of President Rodrigo Duterte that he would not be met with an “Aquino-style” assassination once he arrives in the Philippines. “I welcome the assurance of safety by President Duterte,” Sison said in a statement. If you come home do not worry about being killed I will not do that,” Duterte said on Wednesday. Asking Sison to come home and talk peace is part of his job and mandate to give peace to everybody, Duterte said. Duterte terminated the peace talks between the government and the communist rebels last November 23 after signing Proclamation no.
