The US-Directed GMA-Reyes Tandem Blocks Formal GRP-NDFP Talks
By Prof. Jose Maria Sison
Chief Political Consultant
National Democratic Front of the Philippines
30 July 2003
Their trick in preventing the peace negotiations is to insult and challenge the NDFP by repeatedly telling it to capitulate or else suffer the worst of military campaigns. The way of capitulation offered is the immediate signing of a “final peace agreement” one-sidedly made by the GRP. The worst of military campaigns are already being waged under the pretext of war against terrorism and are sustained by US military intervention and increased military supplies from the Pentagon. more…

The grievances of the soldiers have reverberated not only throughout the Philippines but also the entire world. They are well-grounded.

PNP Murder Complaint Has Absolutely No Basis in Fact and in Law
By Prof. Jose Maria Sison
12 February 2003
The Philippine National Police (PNP) has absolutely no basis in fact and in law to file a murder complaint against me for the death of Col. Rodolfo Aguinaldo.
The attempt of the PNP to link me with those originally accused of being responsible for the killing of Col. Aguinaldo is manifestly contrived and malicious. I have no connection whatsoever with anyone of them. more…

By Prof. Jose Maria Sison

The military, police, paramilitary and “vigilante” forces of the US-directed Macapagal-Arroyo regime launch killing operations with impunity against the revolutionary forces and the people.
