The President explained that the government was not red-tagging these groups but actually identifying them as front organizations of the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People's Army (CPP-NPA).Itong mga legal fronts ng komunista, lahat yan (These legal fronts of the communists) Makabayan, Bayan, they are all legal fronts, Gabriela.

We are not red-tagging you. We are identifying you as members in a grand conspiracy comprising all the legal fronts that you have organized headed by NDF (National Democratic Front) tapos yung sagol ang New People's Army, NDF at Communist Party of the Philippines, he said during his televised address Monday night.They are accusing red-tagging you. No, the Armed Forces of the Philippines is very correct. You are being identified as the members of the communist, he said.

He said the communists have engaged in sheer brutality in the communal war, insisting that they were no longer fighting for an ideology.There is no longer any ideology. Wala itong mga komunista wala ng ideo. They do  gusto lang nila umagaw ng gobyerno. Mga bobo naman ang p***** i** (There is no longer any ideology. The communists have no ideology. All they want is to overthrow the government. But they are stupid son of a b***)," he said.

Duterte also belittled the competence of communist leader Jose Maria Sison, currently living in exile in the Netherlands. He said he was ready to debate with Sison, a former college professor.Sinong mga bright? Si Sison? Iyon yung bright si Sison? Susmaryosep. Iharap mo si Sison sa akin, magdebate kami. (Who are bright? Sison? Sison is bright? My goodness. Bring Sison in front of me. We can have a debate) said Duterte.

In the same speech, Duterte took a swipe at Bayan Muna party-list Rep. Carlos Zarate, a member of the Makabayan bloc in the House of Representatives. He went as far as comparing Zarate to dog feces during his remarks.Iyang si Zarate, si  lahat kayo. Kita mo tapos abugado ng Susmaryosep. Alam mo sabihin ko nangangailangan ka ng pera. Thats the only reason. Komunista ka to defend an oligarch. Hindi ka naman summa cum laude. Pareho naman tayo pumasa ng bar.

Kung magsalita ka you make it appear that we are milking the government of It's you (That Zarate, all of you. He's a lawyer. You know he probably needs the money. That's the only reason. You're a communist but you defend an oligarch. You're not even summa cum laude. We both passed the bar and yet when you speak, you make it appear that we are milking the government its you), he said.

Alam mo sa totoo Zarate pag nakikita kita sa TV, para akong nakakita ng tae ng iro, para akong nakakita ng tae ng aso. Sa totoo lang. Bantay ka sa akin (You know Zarate, whenever I see you on TV, it's like I see dog feces frankly speaking. Better watch out), he added.
