Malacañang still reaching out to CPP

AMID threats of more attacks in 2014 by the New People’s Army (NPA), Malacañang on Thursday said the government will continue to extend its hand of friendship to the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) and pursue peaceful talks.

Presidential Communications Secretary Herminio Coloma Jr. said that while the Armed Forces of the Philippines stands guard against future attacks by the NPA, the government will “find a peaceful solution to the conflict.”
