                    [Summary] => 

There is nothing new with the report by the Melo Commission finding notorious Gen. Jovito Palparan and other AFP commanders responsible for the serial killings of over 800 political activists since 2001.
 

It merely echoes what the families of victims and the entire human rights community have long exposed and protested both here and abroad. It only affirms the charges filed by the victim's families and human rights groups in various local and international bodies demanding government accountability amidst a climate of state terrorism and impunity.

                    [Summary] => Foreign Affairs Secretary Blas Ople is now a member of President Arroyo’s core of national security advisers.


Mrs. Arroyo has issued Executive Order No. 151, dated Dec. 9, to include Ople in the Cabinet oversight committee on internal security.


In her order, Mrs. Arroyo said Ople should be in the committee because "matters relating to internal security may have foreign policy dimensions" and the government’s foreign policy "may provide opportunities that may help address internal security issues."

But Malaysian Foreign Minister Syed Hamid Albar said in Kuala Lumpur yesterday that any assistance from Malaysia would not include granting political asylum to the rebels. 


"If they want us to play a role and they think we can play a useful role, of course we are willing to do that, but the terms of reference must be clear on our role," Syed Hamid said.

                    [Summary] => Norway has agreed to host peace talks between the government and the communist National Democratic Front (NDF) from April 27 to May 1.

Ermita said Norway’s role in the peace talks is not yet clear but that it would be known two days after the negotiations between the government and the NDF start in Oslo.

                    [Summary] => Malaysia, too, is ready to host talks between the Phi-lippine government and the separatist Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) to end a secessionist rebellion in Mindanao.


But Malaysian Foreign Minister Syed Hamid Albar said in Kuala Lumpur yesterday that any assistance from Malaysia would not include granting political asylum to the rebels. 


"If they want us to play a role and they think we can play a useful role, of course we are willing to do that, but the terms of reference must be clear on our role," Syed Hamid said.
