Guerrero hopes NPA sincere in ceasefire deal

MANILA — Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) Chief of Staff Gen. Rey Leonardo Guerrero expressed optimism that the New People’s Army will be true to their unilateral ceasefire declaration this Yuletide season.

He made the remark following the statement release of NPA’s ceasefire, which mirrors the one issued by the AFP early this week.

The military’s unilateral ceasefire will start 6 p.m. on Dec. 23 to 6 p.m. on Dec. 26, and 6 p.m. on Dec. 30 up to 6 p.m. on Jan. 2.

Guerrero said that he could only hope that the NPAs will be sincere in their announcement and not backtrack as they have done so in many occassions.

The AFP chief has instructed all military personnel to be vigilant despite the ceasefire and continue protecting communities from all forms of threats. (Priam Nepomuceno/PNA)
