Effect on tourism of RPA resettlement site raised
BY GILBERT BAYORAN
The Office of the Presidential Adviser on Peace Process remains optimistic over the imminent signing of the closure agreement between the Rebolusyonaryong Partido ng Mangagawa-Pilipinas-Revolutionary Proletarian Army-Boncayao Brigade and the government.
This is despite the perceived “opposition” of Mayor Francis Frederick Palanca to the establishment of a resettlement area for RPA-ABB families in Brgy. Gawahon, Victorias City.
The establishment of resettlement areas for RPA-ABB members and their families is among the requirements for the signing of closure agreement by President Benigno Aquino III.

‘AFP, PNP in NegOr united’
BY JUDY F. PARTLOW
Military and police commanders in Negros Oriental assured Wednesday that the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the Philippine National Police in the province remain united despite perceived “animosity” between them after the Mamasapano debacle.
The commanders gave their assurance as the country commemorated the 29th anniversary of the EDSA People Power Revolution in 1986 that toppled the Marcos dictatorship, during a Unity Walk attended by AFP and PNP officials in Metro Manila Wednesday morning.
The country also observed the one month anniversary of the clash in Mamasapano, Maguindanao that left 44 PNP Special Action Force commandos..
