Joma Sison still impressed with Duterte, NDF panel still authorized to talk peace

Despite the recent cancellation of the fifth round of the peace negotiations, Communist Party of the Philippines founding chairman Jose Maria Sison on Wednesday said the National Democratic Front panel still had the authority to talk peace with the government.

Sison added that he remained impressed with Duterte's willingness to talk peace with the communist movement.

"The panel continues to be authorized to negotiate. From my side as chief consultant, I'm still impressed with having a President who is willing to go for genuine land reform, national industrialization, and ano... for an independent foreign policy," Sison said in a press conference in Noordwijk, the Netherlands.

"Those are things that you try to keep in mind, there are some bright lights to go by along the way," he added.

Duterte earlier in the day said he would order the arrest of NDF consultants if the New People's Army intensified its offensives against the government while the martial law was in effect in Mindanao.

“I tried to talk to you. As a matter of fact... ni-release ko halos lahat ang mga preso ninyo," Duterte said in a speech at the celebration of the 119th anniversary of the Navy in Davao City.

“And if there is a breakdown in the peace and order here because of the participation of the communists in this war against the ISIS, kung gusto ninyong tumulong sa kabila, magpuntahan na kayo lahat,” he added.

The NDF expressed readiness to continue the peace talks with the Philippine government.

"We are still for the continuation of the peace negotiations, preparing for the fifth round..." NDFP Chairperson Fidel Agcaoili said. —NB, GMA News

R. Tiglao Exposed LTO Records Showing Aquino Never Bought or Sold a Porsche

Veteran columnist Rigoberto Tiglao exposed the Land Transportation Office (LTO) records of former President Benigno Aquino III showing that he never bought or sold an expensive Porsche car. The LTO records proved that the former President did not sold his Porsche 911 Carrera car which he claimed he bought for P5 million. The controversial Porsche car of the former President made headlines just months into his presidency but he explained that he bought the luxury car with the proceeds he got when he sold his BMW. Because of the furor from such display of opulence, Pres. Aquino claimed to have sold it six months later for exactly the same price. According to Tiglao during that time he asked through his column the LTO to release the car's deed of sale and registration to prove that it was not a gift from a Chinese-Filipino tycoon as rumored by some individuals critical to the President.
