‘Terrorist tag’ and ‘PP 360’: The US-Duterte regime’s avowal on its contempt of peace and prosperity for death, destruction and dictatorship

The NDFP – Mindanao strongly condemns the US-Duterte regime for issuing Presidential Proclamation No. 360, a decree that brands the CPP-NPA-NDF as “terrorists” and completely terminates the GRP-NDFP peace negotiations. This only reveals the regime’s utter contempt for attaining just and lasting peace and its propensity towards a reign of death, destruction and tyranny.

LABANAN ANG KONTRAREBOLUSYON NG REHIMENG US-DUTERTE

Tumpak ang inyong panawagan sa pagtitipon na ito na “Tibayan ang Hanay! Biguin ang Pasistang Atake ng Rehimeng US-Duterte. Palawakin ang paglaban sa imperyalismo sa buong daigdig!¨ Nakaharap ngayon ang sambayanang Pilipino sa isang terorista at pasistang kontrarebolusyon na nilunsad ni Duterte para sa imperyalismong US at mga kapwa niyang oligarko: malalaking komprador, asendero at burukrata kapitalista.

Tagging the revolutionaries and progressives as terrorists is a ploy to widen the road for imperialist aggression, repression and exploitation and create conditions for the nationwide imposition of martial law

In doing so, Duterte guarantees the escalation of US military intervention and stiffening of the US extensive domination over the Philippines.

NDFP awaits GRP’s written notice of termination

We, the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP), hereby declare that we await receipt of the written notice of termination of the peace negotiations by the Government of the Republic of the Philippines (GRP) as a consequence of the reported signing of Proclamation No. 360 by GRP President Duterte declaring such termination.

HOW DUTERTE SABOTAGED THE GRP-NDFP PEACE PROCESS

Duterte violated the mutual agreement that talks would be discreet until there would be good news to announce at the end of the fifth or sixth round of formal talks. In the course of his rants, Duterte unwittingly exposed his scarce, shallow and defective knowledge of the peace process
