By insisting to hold NDFP-GRP peace negotiations in Manila, Duterte is putting forward a demand it knows is totally unacceptable to the revolutionary forces.

In the demand […]

GRP President Duterte’s nth time cancellation of the scheduled resumption of formal peace negotiations is totally unacceptable.

1. Duterte’s demand for an NPA ceasefire while the AFP conducts all-out war as precondition for peace talks is a demand to surrender. This is an unacceptable. Does Duterte really take the revolutionary forces for fools? 2. Duterte has lost all moral ground to make such a demand. Recall that the NPA declared a ceasefire […]
By cancelling the scheduled talks with the NDFP, GRP President Duterte is showing he no longer has need for peace negotiations with the NDFP amid waging a triple war of death and destruction under its US-supported martial law rule. His order today to rearrest the NDFP’s consultants is a violation of the JASIG and violates […]

Since yesterday, Presidential Peace Adviser Jesus Dureza and the Malacañang spokesperson have issued separate statements impugning the revolutionary forces’ seriousness to talk peace citing military actions of the New People’s Army (NPA) in Mindanao and elsewhere which they claim “disrupts the conducive and enabling environment” for peace talks. It denigrates as well the NDFP Negotiating […]
