From the Manila Bulletin (Feb 22): No deal, no PNoy-Joma meeting
There won’t be any meeting between President Benigno S. Aquino III and Communist Party of the Philippines (CCP) founding chairman Jose Maria Sison unless a peace agreement is reached between the government and the rebel group.
Deputy Presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte yesterday said the President’s position has not changed on the matter.
“This was raised a couple of years back, and I remember that was what the President said, that it would be better if the meeting will take place when a peace agreement is already up for signing,” Valte said in an interview with government radio dzRB yesterday.
Valte issued the statement after Presidential Communications Operations (PCOO) Secretary Herminio Coloma Jr. was reported to have said that the government is “keeping an open mind” to the proposed meeting between Aquino and Sison.
