Interview with NDFP Chief Political Consultant Prof. Jose Maria Sison
Is the report true that you are returning to the Philippines soon to take a cabinet position in the Aquino government and that the New People's Army is going to be integrated with the Armed Forces of the Philippines? Do you know the source of the report.
Prof. Jose Maria Sison: The report is false. It comes from the direction of a group of military officers and politicians loyal to the past Arroyo regime and coordinated by former defense secretary Norberto Gonzales, the butcher general Palparan and Alcover of ANAD. They are engaged in a psywar intrigue related to the sharpening contradictions between the pro-Aquino and pro-Arroyo reactionaries within the military and entire ruling system.

The Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) condemns the Toronto Ventures Incorporated Resource Development (TVIRD), the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and the Special CAFGU Active Auxiliaries (SCAA) under the Tabak Division (1st Infantry Division) for carrying out a widespread campaign of crime, terror and abuses against the Subanen minority people and residents of Zamboanga del Sur since late last year.

The Aquino government is putting a stopple on peace negotiations when its negotiating panel and the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) insists that the prolonged detention of Alan Jazmines and 12 other peace consultants of the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP) are in “faithful compliance” with the Joint Agreement on Safety and Immunity Guarantees (JASIG).

The Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) today assailed the US government for seeking to establish another Subic Naval Base in the Philippines, a little smaller perhaps, to service ships and troops being "rotated" in the Asia-Pacific region.
"US plans to setup a mini-Subic military base, service facility or exclusive dock in the Philippines have become increasingly apparent as officials of the Obama government announced it is going to rotate at least 3,300 troops from its Okinawa base in Australia, Singapore, Hawaii and the Philippines.

The Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) today said that the demand for the release of Alan Jazmines and all other consultants of the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP) is not a “side issue” to the peace negotiations.
The CPP reiterated the demand for the release of Jazmines, who was arrested by military and police operatives exactly a year ago, in complete disregard of his standing as a JASIG-protected consultant. Jazmines, 65, has since been detained at the PNP Custodial Center in Camp Crame.

The Joint Agreement on Safety and Immunity Guarantees (JASIG) is a key agreement in the peace negotiations between the Government of the Philippines (GPH, formerly designated as GRP) and the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP).
In its preamble, the JASIG stipulates that: “The primary purposes of the safety and immunity guarantees hereby adopted are to facilitate the peace negotiations, create a favorable atmosphere conducive to free discussion and free movement during the peace negotiations, and avert any incident that may jeopardize the peace negotiations.”
