"In pursuit of Just and Lasting Peace: Regional Forum on the Comprehensive Peace Process, is a fitting theme of a forum attended by over a hundred participants from the local government units, national government agencies, service organizations and religious sectors. The forum was sponsored by the Office of the Presidential Adviser for the Peace Process (OPAPP) held at the 5th Floor of the New Capitol Building of the Province of Iloilo on May 29, 2006. The Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process, Sec. Jesus Dureza, and the Presidential Adviser for Western Visayas, Sec. Rafael Coscolluela presided over the event.
The regional forum was OPAPP’s effort to revitalize the stalled peace negotiations with the CPP-NPA-NDFP so that the grass roots the very stake holders and empowered communities will give the local governments capability to respond and initiate peace negotiations in the local level.
The forum also served as an information bed for OPAPP to bring relevant news and information of the activities of the agency like the Comprehensive Agreement on Respect for Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law (CARHRHL) and the status of the comprehensive peace process with the different groups like the Rebolusyonaryong Partidong Manggagawa ng Pilipinas – Revolutionary Proletarian Army-Alex Boncayao Brigade (RPM-RPA-ABB), the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), the Rebolusyonaryong Partidong Manggagawa ng Mindanao (RPMM), and the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army-National Democratic Front Party (CPP-NPA-NDFP). /MP mailto:madyaas_pen@yahoo.com
