(Eagle News) — President Rodrigo Duterte said he would have Communist Party of the Philippines founder Jose Maria Sison arrested if he set foot in the country.

Duterte made the announcement in a speech during the San Beda College of Law alumni homecoming in Makati on Friday night.

“If Joma Sison comes here, I will arrest him or if I were him, huwag na siyang bumalik dito,” he said.

He said he would not allow his former professor “to enter his native land.”

“…And that is a very painful experience especially if you’re dying and you think you should be buried in your own cemetery, in your own town,” Duterte said.

On Thursday, Duterte signed Proclamation No. 360 formally terminating peace talks with the Communists.

Duterte said he was fed up with the group’s “depredatory” acts that include the killing of a four-month-old baby.

Sison responded by calling Duterte “mentally unfit,” and the country’s “No. 1 terrorist.”
