The Government of the Republic of the Philippines (GRP) and the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP, united front of the Communist Party of the Philippines) signed a joint communique opening the door to peace talks.
Two thoughts on the GRP–NDFP joint communique.
1—This is a repeat of Marcos Sr’s demobilization of the PKP-1930 and the fullest conclusion of NatDem politics (eg nationalism, opportunism)
2—What does the resumption of peace talks mean with regards to the ongoing 3rd rectification movement (3RM)? The 3RM started some years ago on focusing on a reaffirmation of the protracted people’s war (PPW). Obviously peace talks is the opposite of a PPW.
