That President Duterte dispatched no less than his alter-ego Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea to join the Philippine Government (GRP) panel in what could light the flame for a possible rekindling of negotiations with Communist rebels stunted months ago, is a solid indication coming from Malacanang that the peace talks between the GRP and the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP) should forge on.

This was the assessment made by Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III, GRP’s chief peace negotiator, who underscored that it was the first time that an Executive Secretary, said to be the right-hand man of the President, had been named to the Philippine Peace Panel.

In the 51 years of the Communist urgency, efforts to strike a peace agreement had Bello at the middle of it all in the administration of Corazon Aquino, Fidel V. Ramos, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, and Duterte. That’s roughly 33 years.But this, time, Bello thinks that the peace process could finally move on beyond the obstacles posed by the Aquino, Ramos, and Arroyo administrations.

And as such, he expects that both sides would “stand down” until the officials finally come to the negotiation table to discuss the peace agreement, and perhaps extend the ceasefire beyond January 7.
