We hope that the incoming administration is going to continue the peace process as the most practical way of handling the issue in Mindanao. Dalawa lang naman ang options ng gobyerno: either giyerahin kami o idaan sa peace process. I hope na talagang tatahakin ni Noynoy ang negotiation track. Kung pag-uusapan ang pamilya niya, mula kay dating pangulong Cory Aquino, hindi naman violent na mga tao ang mga ‘yan. Pero kung titingnan ang mga taong nakapaligid sa kay Noynoy, gaya ni Senador Mar Roxas at Franklin Drilon, eh talagang giyera ang hanap nila, at baka sa huli, ang mga hawkies pa rin ang manaig.

Kahit na sabihin nating natalo si Roxas, kahit papaano may impluwensiya pa rin siya. Kaya kailangang may political will si Noynoy, kundi walang mangyayari.  Kasi alam naman nating ang mga taong nakapaligid sa isang pangulo ay iba’t iba ang iniisip, iba’t iba ang interes. But it in the end, it’ll still be the president who will decide.

Hepe ng negotiating panel, National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP)

The National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP) Negotiating Panel calls on the incoming administration of apparent President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III to hold Ms. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo
and the military and civilian officials of her regime accountable for numerous gross human rights violations and blatant cases of massive corruption and plunder.

The broad masses of the people expect Aquino to fulfill his promise to carry out the investigation and prosecution of the Arroyo regime within the legal and political framework of the Government of the
Republic of the Philippines (GRP). The failure of Aquino to fulfill his promise within the first 100 days of his rule will outrage the people and will once more expose the rottenness not only of the new administration but also the entire ruling system.
…
Holding Mrs. Arroyo accountable in response to the demands of Filipino people and the victims and their families will significantly help to improve the atmosphere for the resumption of formal peace
talks between the Government of the Republic of the Philippines (GRP) and the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP).

We issue this call in line with our firm commitment to uphold, defend and advance the fundamental interests of the Filipino people and in response to their deep aspirations for social justice, democracy and a just and lasting peace.
…

Firmly taking up the crimes of plunder and corruption of Mrs. Arroyo and her cohorts will entail the exposure of the basic causes of social injustice and maldevelopment, and will thus be of great benefit to the negotiations on social and economic reforms, which is the second substantive topic in the GRP-NDFP peace negotiations as defined by The Hague Joint Declaration.

To recognize and honor the victims’ and their families’ unceasing efforts to obtain justice, and to respond effectively to the people’s aspiration for a just and lasting peace, the NDFP demands that Ms.
Gloria Macapagal Arroyo be held accountable for gross violations of the human rights of the Filipino people and for massive plunder and corruption.
