MANILA, January 3, 2012-The Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) has declared a re-extension of the ceasefire to January 15, 2013. The government welcomes this change of heart from their earlier position. This gives our soldiers and members of the CPP-NPA-NDF more time with their loved ones, which becomes difficult in times of conflict.
As agreed upon by representatives of both the Philippine government and the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP) at The Hague, Netherlands, the ceasefire would last from December 20, 2012 to January 15, 2013. Despite unilateral statements to the contrary, the government is fully committed to honoring this ceasefire—a clear indication of our sincerity and determination to maintain peace and stability.
In the months ahead, we look forward to resuming a respectful and fruitful dialogue with the CPP-NPA-NDF, with the vision of fostering a true and lasting peace in the Philippines.
