MANILA – Malacañang on Wednesday confirmed the termination of the appointments of government peace negotiators with communist rebels "in view of the termination of the peace negotiations" with the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People's Army-National Democratic Front (CPP-NPA-NDF).
Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea signed the termination letters “by order of the President” on March 18.
“To ensure uninterrupted delivery of public service, you are hereby directed to turn over all official documents, papers and properties in your possession to the Office of the Presidential Adviser on Peace, Reconciliation and Unity,” the letter read.
Among those whose appointment papers were terminated include that of Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) Secretary Silvestre Bello III who served as the chairperson of the Government of the Republic of the Philippines GRP) panel.
Other GRP members whose appointment have been terminated are Antonio Arellano, Hernani Braganza, Angela Librado-Trinidad and Rene Sarmiento.
The termination of their appointment as government’s peace negotiators is “effective immediately”.
A series of attacks staged by the NPA rebels against government troops and civilians have prompted Duterte to terminate the peace talks with CPP-NPA which have been declared by the US and European Union as a terrorist organization.
Presidential Peace Adviser Carlito Galvez Jr. said the termination will pave the way for the creation of an inclusive panel that will supervise localized peace negotiations.
“The discontinuance of the services of the members of the GRP panel is in line with the termination of peace talks with the NDFP (National Democratic Front Panel). But we will reconstitute the panel at a national scope in accordance with the whole-of-nation approach. We are advocating to achieve inclusive and sustainable peace,” Galvez said in a statement.
In December 2018, Duterte issued EO 70 which institutionalized a whole-of-nation approach in attaining peace and created a National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict. (PNA)

Filipino Catholic’s open letter to Duterte: Stop attacking the Church and focus on preventing China from invading us.

Monty Mendigoria, a Catholic and the president of the Skateboard Association of the Philippines Inc. writes an open letter to the Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte. Mendigoria, it seems, is worried about the president giving our country to China. Monty Mendigoria and President Rodrigo Duterte / Composite photos from Facebook and northboundasia Church issues He started by telling the president that Catholics hear mass because they believe in God, not because of the priests. And if ever they give donations, it is from the own free will, and not anything that was imposed or something. Some just want to be a good instrument while they walk the earth. So he advised the president that if he does not believe in God then he should let those who believe Him be. Stop attacking the Church and start focussing on the real issue.

Franchise Renewal ng ABS-CBN muling isinantabi ng Kamara

Photo from Google Images Muling naisantabi sa Kamara ang panukalang Franchise renewal ng broadcasting network na ABS-CBN. Sa pinakahuling pagdinig ng House Committee on Legislative Franchises na pinamumunuan ni Palawan Cong. Franz Chicoy Alvarez, hindi pinansin ang inihaing franchise renewal application ng Kapamilya network. Ito’y sa kabila ng limang (5) panukalang batas na nakasalang hinggil dito. Nabatid na mas nabigyan pa ng pansin ang prangkisa ng iba pang kumpanya kabilang ang First United Broadcasting Corporation, Lanao Del Norte Electric Cooperative, Bicol Light at Power Corporation kahit pa may pagtutol ang ilang miyembro ng Franchise panel. Paliwanag naman ni Alvarez, naunang asikasuhin ang franchise application ng mga nabanggit na kumpanya alinsunod na rin sa Section 48 ng House rules. Pinamamadali aniya ng nasabing patakaran ang pagtalakay sa mga panukalang lehislasyon na inaprubahan na ng nakalipas ng Kongreso subalit bigong maging ganap na batas....
