Interim peace deal with NDF eyed
BAGUIO CITY – The National Democratic Front (NDF) is confident that an interim peace agreement with the government will be signed soon.
Julie de Lima, chairperson of the NDF’s Reciprocal Working Committee on Socio-Economic Reforms, said the possibility of signing the agreement “is a sign of movement in the stalled peace negotiations.”
De Lima said the NDF maintains that social and economic reforms should be the cornerstone of any peace agreement.
She said both panels have agreed on the drafts of the agrarian reform and rural development and national industrialization and economic development provisions of the Comprehensive Agreement on Social and Economic Reforms, the second substantive agenda in the peace negotiations with communist rebels.
