unite against their $ommon enemies, whi$h he mentioned as the A0uino go!ernment, ;=

imperialism, bureau$rat-$apitalism, and feudalism"

t1s hard to point fingers here@ where to pla$e the sole blame on the in$ident" While some

$ourtesy $ould ha!e been shown by the mar$hers for the 2uslims who were reading the uran as

part of their program by minimizing their $hants, perhaps our 2uslim brothers shouldn1t ha!ebothered to pay too mu$h attention to them, sin$e all they did was read their own statement" The

re!olutionaries would probably ha!e mar$hed onwards 7e$to A!enue after that" As of this

writing, 1m waiting for the statements of the parties in!ol!ed, as well as the statement of thepresent administration"

These ta$ti$al offensi!es and lightning rallies, despite the fa$t that the third lightning rally

disastrously degenerated into a bad riot, are most liely meant as a show of for$e by there!olutionary mo!ement to the A0uino regime in light of the arrest of the Tiamzons and their

$ompanions, as well as $elebrating the 'th anni!ersary of the .ew People1s Army"

Pea$e delayedThe A0uino regime is boastful of its so-$alled a$hie!ement in arresting the Tiamzons despite the

fa$t that the arrest !iolates the oint Agreement on =afety and mmunity 8uarantees (A=8),whi$h the $urrent administration along with the pea$e panel regards as &irrele!ant+ in the pea$e

tals" They argue that they are ineligible be$ause &that would mean they $an wage war and

!iolen$e against go!ernment and when $aught, $laim asig prote$tion and e:pe$t to be released,+as said by Presidential =poesperson 9dwin 4a$ierda sometime ago"

#e may sound lie he has a point, but it1s 0uite shallow" sn1t it pre$isely be$ause the CPP-.PA-

.5P is waging a protra$ted armed struggle against the go!ernment that they are in!ol!ed inpea$e talsD The 87P, through the lies of 8ing 5eles and Ale: Padilla, are narrow-minded in

their !iew about the pea$e tals" They belie!e that one should surrender first before taling about

pea$e" #ow does that sol!e the 0uestion of pea$eD #ow $an that ind of attitude address the rootproblems of po!ertyD But what $an one e:pe$t of the A0uino regime in resol!ing the 0uestion of

pea$e if he himself has sided time and time again with the side of the e:ploiters and oppressorsD

& hope that the President will thin hard about what he/s doing" While he might belie!e that he

will benefit more from arresting and imprisoning politi$al $onsultants, truth is, it is better for the$ountry when pea$e negotiations $ontinue" 5oes he want to be nown in history as the President

who illed the pea$e negotiationsD+ =ison, who has been in e:ile here for years, e:plained in

ilipino"+

Contradi$tions arise out of a so$iety where the e:ploiting $lass thri!es on the hardships of its

people@ where the only nown definition of pea$e is the pea$e of the $emetery" Perhaps the onlyway to resol!e the A0uino regime1s $ontradi$tions is for the so-$alled leader to be ousted by a

genuine mass mo!ement" Then a transition stage shall tae pla$e for a new so$ietal order that

shall truly ser!e the people and not ?ust a few"
