Manila, Sept. 12 -- Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Eduardo M. Ano on Thursday said exiled Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) leader Joma Sison must be hallucinating when he claimed that he is absolutely protected in his self-imposed exile in the Netherlands.

"Ang isang kriminal ay hindi kailanman puwedeng ituring na political refugee. Ang isang mass murderer ay hindi puwedeng maging refugee. Buking ka na, Joma, kaya panagutan mo ang mga kasalanan mong pagpatay sa mga kapwa mo Pilipino (A criminal can never be considered a political refugee. A mass murderer can never be a refugee. Joma, you are exposed so you better answer for your crime of killing your fellow Filipinos)," Ano said.
