Jose Maria “Joma” Sison is the founding chairman of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP), which was re-established in 1968 at the time of the oppressive regime of Ferdinand Marcos, who for the most time of his two-decade long presidency ruled by martial law and embezzled billions of dollars of public funds. In 1969 the CPP organized its military wing, the New People’s Army (NPA), which up until now has been engaged in Asia’s longest ongoing communist insurgency.

EXPERIENCES DURING MARTIAL LAW

Interview with Prof. Jose Maria Sison,
U.P. Alumnus & Founding Chairman of Kabataang Makabayan
and the Communist Party of the Philippines

May I know your experiences during martial law. This is in connection with the commemoration of martial law on September 21.

1.) What are your experiences before and during the Martial Law? What are the harsh aspects of this grim period?

JMS: I was active in the legal mass movement since 1961. I went underground together with other comrades in late 1968 in order to reestablish the Communist Party of the Philippines on December 26, 1969 and to found the New People´s Army on March 29, 1969. As early as 1969, we observed the propensity of Marcos to use brute force against the mass movement in both rural and urban areas.

Good day! I was assigned by my editor to follow-up updates from your end about some issues. I hope you answer briefly my queries please.
