Communist Party of the Philippines founding chair Jose Maria Sison has “spoken like a true terrorist,” Malacañang said on Thursday after the exiled leader said that the communist rebels could no longer negotiate with a government headed by President Rodrigo Duterte.

In a statement on Thursday, Sison said “the NDFP  can no longer negotiate” with a government headed by Duterte.
