It’s high time that the Philippine Government resume the formal talks with the communist rebels. The conflict between the Filipino government and the communist rebels has been going on since 1969 and the last formal talk between both sides was held in 2004 yet did not lead to an agreement.
The relaunching of the said peace talks between Representatives of the Philippines government and of the communist National Democratic Front (NDF) -- the political wing of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) will be held on the February 15-21 in Oslo, Norway, wherein, the latter government will be facilitating the negotiations. Hopefully, a positive result will be agreed upon between the concerned sides. If peace is indeed established in said talk, a confident government; an end to the one of Asia’s longest-running insurgency and a healthy economy will be the overall result.
Congratulations to both sides and we the optimistic Filipinos will wait for the result.
