Religious group calls for resumption of GRP-NDF peace talks

PEPP said it “is gravely concerned and alarmed over the escalating atmosphere of fear and uncertainty in our national life brought about by speeches and public discourses that sow hate and war. We are also saddened by the daily doses of news reports of anomalies and corruption. In recent days, the Bureau of Corrections and the plunge of the price of palay were highlighted.

“Apparently, part of the strategy is to target and vilify schools, revive the anti-subversion law, red tag church people, journalists, human rights defenders and other critics of the government among others. That bishops and priests are among the respondents in a case of sedition and a pastor of the United Church of Christ in the Philippines in Negros is in jail along with some of his members based on trumped up charges, for instance, are also portents,” PEPP argued.

The group said that every administration since the Marcos dictatorship adopted their respective counter-insurgency programs designed to wipe out the enemy through military might.

Resume the peace talk so that you can kill while the talk is going on?....You're all Stupid to think you are the boss
