LUCENA CITY, Philippines -- The Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Philippines has denied the reported revamp of party officials as being claimed by government national security executives.

"We officially state outright that there has been no recent change at all in the central leadership of the party. The party's central leadership remains united and strong. Gonzales and Razon's line that there are cracks and discontent in the central committee is pure hogwash," the CPP-Central Committee said in an email statement sent to the Philippine Daily Inquirer Saturday.

On Tuesday, National security adviser Norberto Gonzales and deputy director general of the National Security Council Avelino Razon revealed that the military intelligence community is verifying reports that CPP founder Jose Maria Sison had been removed as head of the revolutionary movement for living a luxurious life abroad while his local comrades were having a hard time in the country.

The state security officials further alleged that some disgruntled members of the CPP-Central Committee want to strip Sison of any policy-making power.

Gonzales tagged Benito Tiamzon as the CPP's acting chair and his wife Wilma as the secretary general.

From his based in Utrecht, The Netherlands, Sison called the report as "malicious and slanderous lies."

He also vehemently denied the allegation that he maintains a ritzy lifestyle saying he now lives in deprivation after the Dutch authorities prevented him from working and deprived him of social benefits.

The military intelligence has long been claiming that Sison was the chair of the CPP Central Committee and was using the aliases "Amado Guerrero" and "Armando Liwanag." Sison has denied the allegations.

The self-exiled communist leaders insisted that the leaderships of the CPP-NPA are in the Philippines and not in The Netherlands.

Sison who now introduces himself as chief political consultant of the National Democratic Front has been living in self-exile in Utrecht since 1987 along with other Philippine communist leaders after the Aquino regime canceled his passport while in a speaking engagements in Europe.

The NDF is the political arm of the communist rebel movement.

The CPP-Central Committee chided Gonzales and Razon for conducting malicious disinformation campaign to the media to sow intrigues against Sison and the party leadership.

"Aside from being total lies and intrigues, Gonzales and Razon's statements are full of self-contradiction, and only reveal the utter desperation they and their US and Malacañang bosses have turned to in their failure to stem the growth and advance of the Party and the revolutionary movement under its leadership," the CPP officials said.

The CPP-Central Committee added: "By resorting to such foul tactics, Gonzales, Razon and other fascist henchmen of the US and Malacañang have only made a sorrier mess of their failed counter-revolutionary internal security Oplan Bantay Laya 1 and 2. Their lies and intrigues are drowned out by the accumulated and recent victories of the Philippine revolutionary movement whose advance they are powerless to prevent."
