AFP hopeful NPAs will heed ceasefire request

From the Philippine News Agency (Nov 17): AFP hopeful NPAs will heed ceasefire request

With the rest of the country into relief and search work for the victims of Supertyphoon "Yolanda", the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) on Monday expressed hope that the New People's Army (NPA) will comply with the ceasefire request being sought by the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process.

Lt. Col. Ramon Zagala, AFP public affairs office chief, is hoping that the rebels will heed this request so that relief works can proceed unhindered by the NPAs.

As this develops, he added that 81-truck convoy, mostly military vehicles, carrying relief goods is now proceeding to Tacloban City to help in the ongoing relief efforts there.

Zagala also said that engineering brigades of the AFP are now hard at work, clearing road ways and highways, in "Yolanda" battered provinces.
