Deles: Deeper understanding of peace process needed

•

Posted on Thursday, 26 January, 2012 - 17:24

“The peace process is very complicated; it can’t be grasped in one sitting."

Sec. Deles

Manila, Jan. 26 - Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process Teresita Quintos-Deles emphasized the need for stakeholders to have a deeper understanding of the peace process in order that they will not be "easily swayed" amid issues.

“The peace process is very complicated; it can’t be grasped in one sitting. What we need is a faithful accompaniment of the process. When the peace process is doing well, people leave it alone. But the peace process is one issue that is so quick to turn,” she said during the Bishops-Businessmen's Conference (BBC) for Human Development held recently at the Pope Pius XII Catholic Center in U.N. Avenue, Manila.

Deles was joined by Marvic Leonen, Government of the Philippines (GPH) panel chair for talks with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), and Jurgette Honculada, panel member for talks with the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army-National Democratic Front of the Philippines (CPP-NPA-NDFP).

During the forum, Deles emphasized the need to have more advocates who will help in shedding light on issues concerning the peace process. “When issues arise, nobody answers to help clarify the situation. It's only the people in the peace process. This process needs deeper understanding; it needs faithfulness so that when something happens people don't easily get swayed.”

“Anything that can be picked up by the news, such as that the peace adviser and the negotiators are amateurs and incompetent – these are easy for them to say because so few people understand,” Deles added.

Partners on the ground

When queried on how the religious leaders can support the nation’s quest for peace, Deles raised two salient points: faithful accompaniment of the peace process and partners on the ground.

She also raised the need for peace monitors as development projects are being laid out in conflict areas through the government’s PAMANA or Payapa at Masaganang Pamayanan (Peaceful and Resilient Communities) program.

“PAMANA puts projects in areas that are not easy to access, where there are no civil society groups,” Deles remarked. “An element of PAMANA is transparency where we sign up a partner who will monitor, watch the bidding – that and if we say we'll be building a school, it will work out as such.”

PAMANA is the government’s program and framework for peace and development in conflict areas, as well as those covered by existing peace agreements. It seeks to reduce poverty, improve governance and empower people through projects that enhance peace and socio-economic conditions.

Deles said it is hard to find partners in conflict areas who will be vigilant in ensuring that national government funds go to the right place.

“We are reversing a political culture here where there is no distinction between public and private funds and we need people on the ground to help us out,” she emphasized.

Clamor for peace

Honculada, on the other hand,gave a short presentation on the history of the 42-year-old insurgency being waged by the CPP-NPA-NDFP, as well as developments in the peace process with the communist group.

Peace negotiations have been delayed following the CPP-NPA-NDFP’s demand to release their detained consultants.

Due to this setback, more communities, particularly those that are affected by conflict, are actively calling for a truce.

“This clamor for local ceasefire http://www.opapp.gov.ph/and local peace talks is growing,” Honculada commented.

“What’s next (for the peace talks)? There are three possible scenarios: resumption, suspension, termination … If the stakeholders and the public still believe in peace, they must do what they can to keep both parties at the table,” she stated.

6 soldiers killed, 16 wounded in Bukidnon

6 soldiers killed, 16 wounded in Bukidnon

ANG BAYAN
21 January 2012

Six soldiers of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) were killed and 16 were wounded in two separate ambushes launched by Red fighters of the New People’s Army (NPA) on January 18 in Barangays Sinuda and Palakapan in Kitaotao, Bukidnon.

In a statement, Ka Rigoberto Sanchez, spokesperson of the Merardo Arce Command (NPA-Southern Mindanao) said the inter-front operation was aimed at raising the fighting spirit of the peasantry against the brutality of the 23rd IB.

It was 6 a.m. when a platoon of Red fighters from Front Guerrilla Units 55 and 56 ambushed 23rd IB troops aboard a private vehicle, killing two soldiers and wounding four others.

After three hours, a commando unit from Front 53 ambushed a convoy composed of a six-by-six truck and an amphibian vehicle bearing 10th ID troops in Barangay Palakapan, Kitaotao, killing four soldiers and wounding 12 others. The NPA used a command-detonated explosive.

These two successful tactical offensives belied previous claims by Maj. Jacob Thaddeus Obligado, chief of the 10th ID Civil Military Operations Battalion that the NPA had been suffering mounting setbacks. The CMO chief had bragged that in 2011, an estimated 315 rebels had been neutralized by the AFP, even if the military’s scheme of forcing civilians and former NPA members to surrender had already been exposed to the public.

Meanwhile, the NPA Nueva Vizcaya Provincial Operational Command reported an ambush by one of its partisan units on SPO4 Isabelo Carpio, a retired officer of th Philippine National Police (PNP). Carpio, who was ambushed in Bambang town in the afternoon of January 17 has been nicknamed “butcher” for his involvement in several extrajudicial kilings and other human rights violations and for his longtime active service as an enemy intelligence agent against the revolutionary movement.

In fact, Carpio was one of three persons charged in the reactionary court for the killing of Marlon “Ka Pepsi” Fernandez. Ka Pepsi was slain in Barangay Belance, Dupax del Norte town in 1997. Carpio and his co-accused were detained for nine months but were released on bail, and their case relegated to the sidelines.

After his release, Carpio persisted in being a paid agent of the ruling classes. He became an active recruiter for the CAFGU and commander of the demolition team sent to tear down the barricades set up by peasants against the entry of foreign mining companies in Nueva Vizcaya in 2007.

Impeach court starts retracing Corona’s ascent to Supreme Court

Impeach court starts retracing Corona’s ascent to Supreme Court

By Michael Lim Ubac
Philippine Daily Inquirer

12:51 am | Friday, January 20th, 2012

 

Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato C. Corona. INQUIRER/NIÑO JESUS ORBETA

With the turnover of Chief Justice Renato Corona’s statements of assets, liabilities and net worth (SALNs), the impeachment court has begun to retrace the steps he took before he assumed the top post of the Supreme Court in 2010.

Although tedious, the process allows the nation to see how this jurist—who has described himself as being of a family “of no ordinary means”—walked the corridors of power under two administrations in a political and legal career spanning two decades.

After two days of delay, the presentation of evidence and witnesses on Article 2 of the impeachment complaint, which began on Wednesday and continued yesterday, has enlivened the heretofore insipid proceedings. It also set into motion the prosecution’s strategy to lay the basis for Corona’s conviction of betrayal of public trust, culpable violation of the Constitution, and graft and corruption.

Article 2 alleges that Corona violated the Constitution and betrayed public trust “when he failed to disclose to the public” his SALNs.

On Wednesday, the impeachment court compelled Supreme Court Clerk of Court Enriqueta Esguerra-Vidal to turn over an envelope containing Corona’s SALNs covering the period 2002-2010 (first as associate justice and later Chief Justice of the high court).

This allowed the prosecution to obtain what could turn out to be the smoking gun necessary to prove its claim that Corona had amassed assets beyond his means.

The Chief Justice has admitted ownership of only five of the 45 properties linked by the prosecution to him and his family as alleged proof of his “ill-gotten wealth.”

A cursory reading of the SALNs will yield the impression that Corona’s rise to power was, to a great extent, intertwined with the political career of his appointing authority, then outgoing President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

Shared fate?

Apart from the assets, liabilities and net worth, a SALN contains the “position/income,” “office,” and “office address” of the public official submitting the document.

Before the impeachment court adjourned late on Wednesday, the prosecution elicited additional evidence from Marianito Dimaandal, the head of the Malacañang Records Office, in the form of SALNs submitted by Corona covering the period 1992-2002.

In that 10-year span, Corona served in various capacities in the executive branch.

He joined the government in 1992, during the term of President Fidel Ramos. He first served as assistant executive secretary for legal affairs and concurrent head of the Malacañang Legal Office, a sub-Cabinet post, before being promoted to the post of deputy executive secretary and, later, chief presidential legal counsel.

But it was the decision of then Vice President Arroyo to pick him as her chief of staff and spokesperson in 1998 that laid the groundwork for his entry to the Supreme Court four years later, on April 9, 2002.

Corona reached the peak of his legal career on May 12, 2010, when he became chief justice. But the circumstances of his appointment were questionable because under Section 15, Article 7 of the Constitution, a sitting president is barred from appointing vacancies in the judiciary during an election period.

His assumption of the post of Chief Justice and head of the judiciary now forms part of the grounds of Article 1, which states: “Respondent betrayed the public trust through his track record marked by partiality and subservience in cases involving the Arroyo administration from the time of his appointment as Supreme Court justice which continued to his dubious appointment as a midnight Chief Justice and up to the present.”

Evidentiary weight

The presentation of evidence was highly anticipated not only by the senator-judges and the defense but also by the people crowding the Senate gallery for one cogent reason: The actors and spectators in this political exercise may now appreciate the evidentiary weight of the documents initially leaked by the prosecution to the public via the media.

The initial debacle encountered by the prosecution, which was widely criticized for its decision to rearrange the presentation of evidence in support of the eight articles of impeachment, had stymied the proceedings, a fact enunciated by the senator-judges during this week’s trial.

Thus, the presentation of witnesses was a welcome development: Esguerra-Vidal and Dimaandal to attest to the veracity of the SALNs; Randy Rutaquio, Register of Deeds of Taguig City, and lawyer Carlo Alcantara, acting Register of Deeds of Quezon City, to the authenticity of the deeds of sale of the properties; and Sedfrey Garcia, Register of Deeds of Marikina City, also to the authenticity of the deeds of sale.

The audience at the gallery, which for days had been showing signs of boredom, found renewed enthusiasm, craning forward to look at the bureaucrats seated on the witness stand.

The senator-judges have also ensured that the proceedings were moving forward, raising points of order and posing questions to the witnesses even at the risk of being seen by others as lawyering for the relatively inexperienced prosecutors from the House of Representatives.

The active participation of Senators Alan Peter Cayetano, Vicente Sotto III, Jose “Jinggoy” Estrada, Franklin Drilon, Joker Arroyo, Edgardo Angara, Teofisto Guingona III, Pia Cayetano, Francis Escudero and Francis Pangilinan and the efficiency with which Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile was marshaling the proceedings have ensured that the procedural obstacles thrown by the defense would not derail the trial.

‘Continuing objection’

The lead defense lawyer, former Supreme Court Associate Justice Serafin Cuevas, has taken every opportunity to object to prosecution moves, in an effort to cast doubt on the credibility of the witnesses to testify on the probative value of the documents subpoenaed by the impeachment court.

Watching virtually every word coming from the prosecution, Cuevas has also repeatedly registered an objection to the line of questioning of Cavite Representative Elpidio Barzaga and private prosecutors Mario Bautista and Jose Justiniano.

The defense has maintained that the articles of impeachment lacked appropriate “charges” against Corona, and claimed that the Chief Justice was being tried for allegations based on “reports and suspicion, in violation of the rules of pleading.”

For an impeachment complaint to be answered, it should “state factual matters,” Cuevas said.

To speed up the trial, Enrile has recommended that Cuevas register “a continuing objection” to the presentation of evidence arising from the submission of documents by the Supreme Court Clerk of Court, Malacañang Records Office and Land Registration Authority.

Cuevas agreed to do so since it would give Corona the legal standing to later question the conduct of the impeachment proceedings in another forum should the senator-judges render an unfavorable decision at the end of the trial.

Now is the golden opportunity to craft a peace agreement - Leonen

• 
• 

Posted on Monday, 9 January, 2012 - 16:04

Kuala Lumpur, Jan. 9 – The Government of the Philippines (GPH) today reiterated its call to the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) to craft a peace agreement within the first quarter of 2012 as the 24th formal exploratory talks between the two parties started today in the Malaysian capital.

“The golden opportunity to craft an agreement is the first quarter of this year,” government chief negotiator Marvic Leonen said, emphasizing that “this is an administration that wants to see the solution to the Bangsamoro question in motion when it leaves in a little over four years time.“

Leonen called on the MILF to “meet the challenge of crafting an agreement soon enough, so that it could be implemented and then assessed and then adjusted before the term of the next President of the Republic.”

Meanwhile, Malaysian facilitator Tengku Dato Ab Ghafar Tengku Mohamed also expressed optimism that both parties will be able to come to an agreement.

“I hope that the coming of the new year will move into the conclusion of this negotiation to a final solution to the Bangsamoro problem, he said.

Genuine autonomy

In his opening statement, Leonen expressed that the Philippines will “no doubt benefit with a region for Bangsamoro peoples that is not only genuinely autonomous but also one where the principles of good and effective governance is in place.”

However, the chief negotiator emphasized the importance of a working relationship and partnership with the national government and the equitable sharing of wealth and revenue generation to ensure genuine autonomy. Such issues are integral to the discussions on the framework agreement.

In line with this, Leonen said that both panels must “cautiously move forward,” learning from lessons of the past.

New GPH panel members

The government panel formally transmitted during the opening ceremonies the appointment papers of new panel members.

Leonen named Dr. Hamid Barra and Yasmin Busran-Lao as permanent members of the GPH Peace Panel. Both have joined the last round of formal talks in December last year as consultants.

“With the two additional members of our panel, we now have a complete panel of 5,” the panel chair said. Barra takes the place of Mayor Ramon Piang who now serves as an alternate member in view of his duties as the mayor of Upi, Maguindanao.

The other panel members include former Agriculture Secretary Senen Bacani and Prof. Miriam Coronel-Ferrer.

CPP calls on urban poor dwellers to rise up and gear for more demolitions as Aquino regime pushes PPPs

CPP calls on urban poor dwellers to rise up and gear for more demolitions as Aquino regime pushes PPPs

Information Bureau
Communist Party of the Philippines
January 11, 2012


The Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) today issued the following statement:

The Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) condemns the Aquino government for using extreme violence in the demolition of the residential homes in Barangay Corazon de Jesus, San Juan yesterday. Armed with automatic rifles, truncheons and teargas and backed with heavy machinery, the Philippine National Police and demolition crew attacked the community and broke the barricades put up by the residents.

The CPP congratulates the residents for valiantly fighting back. Aarmed only with stones, bottles and molotov cocktails, they engaged the state forces in a lopsided battle to defend their homes. They exhibited great courage and determination and collectively defied plans of the Aquino government to uproot them from their homes and dump them to a so-called relocation site far away from their jobs, schools and sources of livelihood.

The Aquino regime may have succeeded in its drive to demolish the urban poor homes in San Juan in order to pave the way for the plans of big real estate developers to erect commercial buildings. But in doing so, it also succeeded in projecting its antipeople character and further isolating itself from the broad masses of the people. In employing extreme violence, the Aquino regime is pushing more and more people to the side of resistance and teaching them a valuable lesson in class struggle.

There are bound to be more attacks against the urban poor's right to decent housing as the regime seeks to clear prime real estate for the use of its big business friends under the its Public-Private Partnership Program (PPPP).

The masses of workers, unemployed and lower petty bourgeoisie who populate urban poor communities have no choice but to organize and rise up against future demolitions under the Aquino regime.
