News Release from the Philippine Embassy
PGMA envisions lasting peace in RP  
 
President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo is determined to eradicate terror and pursue a lasting peace throughout
the country.

Deputy Presidential Spokesperson Anthony Golez, in a radio interview today, said that one of the major
priorities of President Arroyo is to promote peace by keeping all Filipinos safe.

When asked about the recent lifting of the suspension of the Joint Agreement on Safety and Immunity
Guarantees (JASIG), Golez pointed out that when two opposite groups sit together to discuss an agreement, it
is already “a first step towards peace.”

Golez noted that President Arroyo is hopeful that the problem with the communist rebels will soon be over and
that peace will reign all over the country.

The lifting of the suspension of JASIG allows communist rebel negotiators to prepare for the resumption of
formal peace talks to be held in Oslo, Norway next month.

It can be recalled that peace talks with the Communist Party of the Philippines/New People’s Army/National
Democratic Front Army/National Democratic Front (CPP/NPA/NDF) collapsed in 2005 after the United States
tagged the NPA as a foreign terrorist organization.

Negotiations with the MILF also bogged down in August 2007 following the aborted signing of the controversial
memorandum of agreement on ancestral domain (MOA-AD) that triggered renewed fighting between
government forces and the MILF.

However, during that period, the government continued its efforts to conduct back-channeling negotiations for
the resumption of peace talks.
