One of the consultants of the National Democratic Front
(NDF) from Misamis Oriental who was released Wednesday flew to Manila Thursday
noon in preparation for his flight to Oslo ,
Norway to join
the peace negotiations with the government.
The Cagayan De Oro-based Philippine Ecumenical Peace
Platform (PEPP), said that Alfredo Mapano, a.k.a. “Paris ,”
62, was escorted by Fr. Christopher Ablon, the PEPP Coordinator for Mindanao .
Mapano was released from the Misamis Oriental provincial
jail facilities Wednesday afternoon after the regional court here waived the
payment of the Php100,000 bail with the permission of the Supreme Court.
Mapano, the former secretary general of the Communist North
Central Mindanao Revolutionary Party Committee (NMRC), was arrested on August
20, 2009 while visiting his family in Cagayan De Oro City for 11 criminal
offenses.
Chona Mapano, wife of Paris ,
was thankful that her husband was released to join the NDF peace panel in Oslo , Norway
on August 22.
Mapano was one of the 22 NDF consultants that the
Norway-based Communist Party of the Philippines-National Democratic Front-New
People’s Army (CPP-NDF-NPA) wants released to join the peace panel.
The release of another NDF consultant along with Mapano last
Wednesday, was delayed due to some hitches in the issuance of the release
papers.
Pedro Codaste, a.k.a “Gonyong,” who was imprisoned in
Malaybalay City Jail, succeeded as the secretary general of the North Central
Mindanao Revolutionary Party Committee of the CPP-NDF-NPA, after the arrest of
Mapano.
Codaste, 66, was arrested by virtue of a warrant of arrest
on murder and frustrated murder charges at a checkpoint in Bayugan, Agusan Del
Sur, on December 17, 2010.
