                    [Summary] => ILAGAN, Isabela — Always a peace broker.


Taking a respite from peace talks with the communists, the government’s chief negotiator, former Justice Secretary Silvestre Bello III, has taken on another challenge.

The task: reconciling Isabela’s two warring politicians — Gov. Faustino Dy Jr. and second district Rep. Edwin Uy.

"I see no reason why Gov. Dy and Rep. Uy cannot come to terms," said Bello, who was here last Friday to witness his son, Fiel, take his oath of office as sectoral representative in the provincial board.
