NATIONWIDE ROUND-UP Duterte still ‘open to reconciliation? with Reds, says Panelo PRESIDENT RODRIGO R. Duterte, despite the sus- pended peace talks with the country’s communist ‘groups, is still “open to reconciliation,” according to Presidential Spokesman and Chief Presidential Legal Counsel Salvador S. Panelo. “Definitely the President always — his mind is always open to reconciliation. As he said, hindi pupuwedeng tayong mga Pilipino ang nagpapatayan (it should ‘not be that Filipinos are killing fellow Filipinos),” Mr. Panelo said in a press briefing at the Palace ‘on Tuesday, Oct. 16. He stressed, however, that resuming the peace negotiation is not yet possible at this time as members of the communist panel have failed to abide by agreed terms in previ- ‘ous talks. He said the President feels there is no sincerity on the part of the communist leaders. ‘On the possible destabilization plot in December, Mr, Panelo said, “Most likely. But you know, hindi naman ako magtataka na palaging mayroon (| am ‘not surprised that there is always a) plot, because that is precisely the rationale of the creation of ‘the Communist Party of the Philippines, to oust ‘the present government... Eh 50 years na nilang: pinaplano pero so far nabibigo naman sila (They have been planning in the last 50 years, so far, they have failed).” — Arjay L.

Duterte himself and other top administration ‘members. Presidential Spokesman and Chief Presidential Legal Counsel Salvador S. Panelo, in a press briefing at the Palace, initially blamed the Comelec saying it should have “anticipated” such situations. Mr. Panelo then backtracked, “ eh biglang dumating ang Presidente (well, the President suddenly arrived). So I think, you cannot blame any side.” He also denied that Mr. Duterte was “using the government resources” when he escorted his former aide to the Comelec. He said the President, “asa citizen of this country, has the right to endorse and to make a choice Aung sinong tutulungan niya (as to whom he will sup- port).” — Arjay L.
