Gov't, NDF talks to resume soon - The Philippine Star » News » Headlines: "Padilla said he would resign as government peace panel chairman if he fails to fulfill his three- year target to finish the talks with the NDF-CPP-NPA.
“I’m still hoping that I could still meet that target. Maybe, by June 2012, we would be able to finish the talks and have an agreement for a lasting peace in the country,” Padilla said.
Padilla said the main stumbling block to the peace negotiations between the government and the NDF-CPP-NPA is the insistence of the NDF to have all its detained members who are currently serving prison terms, released even if they are not covered by the Joint Agreement on Safety and Immunity Guarantee (JASIG).
“On their (NDF-CPP-NPA) part, they viewed us as insincere negotiators,” Padilla said.
He and NDF peace panel spokesman Fidel Agcaoili have engaged in a word war that affected the resumption of the peace talks, over the NDF’s insistence for the government to release all JASIG-protected NDF members from prison." (click link for complete article)
