About this book
From the Preface written by Jose Maria Sison:
"This book, GRP-NDFP Peace Negotiations, spans the years 1986 to 2022. It reflects the role that I have played in exploring and realizing the peace negotiations. It carries the essays, statements and interviews related to the tremendous odds, explorations, preparations, the forging of agreements, frustrations and advances. I hope that this book can further enlighten and inspire the people, the advocates of a just peace and the contending parties to work for a just and lasting peace in the Philippines….
The revolutionary forces of the Filipino people have demonstrated that with or without GRP-NDFP peace negotiations they can take advantage of the ever-worsening crisis of the ruling system in order to preserve their strength and grow further and respond resolutely and vigorously to the demand of the people for revolutionary change. While still small and weak in the past, the armed revolution grew in strength by leaps and bounds against the repressive rule of Marcos, including 14 years of fascist dictatorship. And even during the post-Marcos regimes, when campaigns of military suppression continued, the armed revolution for national and social liberation advanced.
Nevertheless, the NDFP and all other revolutionary forces have shown interest in peace negotiations when honest third-party advocates of a just peace and enlightened elements in the GRP offer peace negotiations as a just, reasonable and feasible way to address the basic problems of the people and arrive at the solutions in the form of basic reforms for the benefit of the people. At the least, the revolutionary forces of the people have the ample opportunity to explain and propagate their program for a new democratic revolution in the course of peace negotiations despite the usual attempts of reactionaries to sow confusion among the people and the revolutionaries."
