Military peace spoiler – analyst

THE commitment of the Philippine government and the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP) to forge a fair deal and their determination not to be affected by acrimonious issues are crucial in keeping the momentum of the peace negotiations, a political analyst said on Tuesday.

Professor Bobby Tuazon, director for Policy Studies of the Center for People Empowerment in Governance (CenPEG) said President Rodrigo Duterte’s commitment to finish the peace talks within his term is a positive step on the part of the government.
