Timor-Leste's PM Xanana Gusmão handed out treats to the media upon landing in Cebu for ASEAN 2026

WATCH: Timor-Leste Prime Minister Xanana Gusmão made a colorful entrance at Shangri-La Mactan this afternoon ahead of the ASEAN Summit. It’s his first visit to Cebu, and instead of fielding questions from reporters, he lightened the mood by handing out chocolates and candies. A small but symbolic gesture—warm, approachable, and a reminder of Timor-Leste’s milestone as ASEAN’s newest full member.

As far as I can gather he is very much a social democrat. He recognized the dangers of a communist revolution might break out in the country if the government cannot guarantee that it would act favorably towards its workers.

"On the other hand, Mr. President, the absence of a provi­sion, such as this proposed by Delegate Araneta which authorizes a reasonable discrimination not against indi­viduals but against a group of individuals, will hamper if not entirely frustrate much of the needed legislation in this country. We are at present embarking on a new independent life.

We are all aware that the problems of the future will no longer be the highest ideal of struggle of a dependent people against a sovereign power.

The struggle, Mr. President, will be of a Filipino against fellow citizen, an individual against a group of indivi­duals, the proletariat against the bourgeois, labor against capital. We should visualize and have a broader view of the future if we want the Government we are establish­ing to be stable and permanent. If we want the Consti­tution we are now drafting to be enduring, lasting for all eternity."

Our democratic institutions must be strengthened and fortified. Extremism is on the rise globally, and I would argue that the continued insistence by the left to at best parrot the NPA's propaganda spiels, and at worst actively supporting its actions does more to hurt the working class of this nation instead of pushing them to take an active part of political discourse through democratic struggles in accountable institutions.

Earl G. Parreño has done an excellent piece and I commend Rappler for publishing this OpEd.
