"Natatangi at napakahalaga ng papel na ginampanan ng lokal na pamahalaan. Ipinakita po ni Mayor ang huwarang gawi ng isang pinuno sa kagyat na pangangailangan ng proyekto ng kapayapaan.”

– Veronica Tabara of the RPMP/RPA/ABB during the groundbreaking ceremony of the P37M Locotan farm-to-market road in Kabankalan, Negros Occidental

GPH-CPP/NPA/NDF Peace Process

GPH remains committed to a political settlement.

GPH wants Talks to focus on issues that are meaningful; with results that are immediately felt by the communities (agenda-based) –with strong bias on ending violence on the ground

GPH is exploring how to reach a time-bound framework for talks, preferably to have substantial peace dividend achieved during the PNoy administration.

Moving towards a peaceful resolution of the armed conflict with the CPP/NPA/NDF

PAMANA as complementary to the Peace Table with the CPP/NPA/NDF

• PAMANA allows communities to have an alternative and non-violent channel for their pursuit of social justice. PAMANA provides a platform to engage the community in charting their own development.

• With or without the formal peace talks, PAMANA will be pursued by the government.

• It is meant to reduce the levels of violence on the ground and improve the quality of life of the people.

CLIP as an Integration Programfor former NPAs

• Comprehensive Local Integration Program or CLIP is offered to NPAs who have decided to return to the fold of law.

• Locally-led implementation providing

– Physical Security

– Socio-Economic Assistance

– Healing & Reconciliation Interventions

Within the PAMANA Framework, CLIP is considered as a Pillar 1 Intervention –- Building the Foundations Peace

Government Peacebuilding Efforts -- A Message of Hope

“Dati masikip ang buhay ko at makitid ang pagtanawko sa buhay; ngayon nakita ko nang may mundo at lipunang mas maaliwalas kung saan kaya ko nangmuling mangarap.” -- CLIP Beneficiary

Eighty-year-old Lorenzo Anterio Silvino Lubos, Northern Samar

“Ang gobyerno noon, may programa, may perang nare-release, pero walang nakikitang proyekto .”

“Napakahirap ng hanapbuhay. May produkto at masipag ang mga tao pero walang transportasyon at kalsada .”

“First time kong nakita ang pruweba ng gobyerno. First time kong nakita na may tulong sa tao.”

“Pangarap ko na makapaglakad sa sementadong kalsada. Sinasabi ko sa sarili ko, ‘It will be fulfilled.’
