The CPP-NPA-NDF has long lost its relevance. The late Joma Sison isn't even worthy of joining the ranks of other Communist leaders. Luis Jalandoni followed soon after -- joining his master Joma in HELL. Joma was rendered long obsolete even before he died. No flowers for Joma from the CCP and the CPV. No flowers for Jalandoni either in his most recent death.

Ironically, Joma wrote condolences for Luis' doppelganger, Vo Nguyen Giap. Sadly, Joma's words may have spelled the great contrast between Luis and Nguyen Giap:
In late 1941, he formed the first guerrilla groups in the mountains of Vietnam. He made an alliance with the armed formation of a national minority in northeastern Vietnam. By mid-1945 he had some 10,000 fighters under his command and carried out an offensive against the Japanese invaders. Thus, the way was made for the Viet Minh to undertake the August Revolution on a nationwide scale, compelling Emperor Bao Dai to abdicate on 25 August and proceeding to the proclamation of Vietnam's independence on 2 September 1945.
He directed the people's war that brought utter defeat to the French colonial army at the battle of Dien Bien Phu. He mustered 100,000 fighters and another 100,000 workers (many of them women) to encircle and gain vantage points against the enemy. The heroic people's army and the people struggling for national and social liberation under the leadership of the Communist Party inflicted heavy losses on the enemy forces and compelled them to surrender.
The brilliance of Vo Nguyen Giap as a strategist of protracted people's war came to the fore by reflecting and availing of the revolutionary determination and courage of the Vietnamese people against the US war of aggression from the 1960s to 1972. He and his people were not cowed by the US which had become the strongest imperialist power in the course of World War II. They fought even harder and more effectively even as US imperialism barbarically used weapons of mass destruction.
It doesn't look like General Secretary To Lam would write condolences to Luis soon. The CPV-VPA didn't even send flowers to Joma. Why should any more CPP-NPA members dead be given attention by the CPV-VPA?
