AFP rejects ‘Palparan solution’ |
|

This was in the form of a front-page Inquirer report that the young

“Palparan solution.”
The report, from Quinapondan, Eastern Samar,

saying that the “Palparan solution” has not solved the
country’s insurgency problem and might even have aggravated it by
creating more dissatisfaction with government.
