The
communist insurgency can be nipped in the bud
by addressing poverty and through basic infrastructure
development, as shown by the Bohol approach.
This
was the statement made by Pres. Gloria Macapagal
Arroyo during the closing rites of the two-day

Crame
asked to address police incapacities here
Capitol and city hall officials want Camp
Crame to address the manpower and mobility incapacities
of the police in Bohol, especially in Tagbilaran City,
as Boholanos get impatient with how the present litany
of killings and armed robberies confront the lawmen
and exposes their failures.
The
Sangguniang Panlalawigan and Sangguniang Panlungsod
asked in separate resolutions Philippine National Police
(PNP) Director-General Oscar Calderon to field additional
policemen and vehicles in the province and its capital
even without immediate compliance with the ideal police-population
ratio.

The
Government seems unable today to win over the
Red insurgency for about 40 years - half the

still theRed flag is still flown somewhere - decidedly
the longest insurgency in the whole of Southeast
Asia. Why?
Blood
and lives have been lost in this fratricidal war
between Cain and Abel. So much money in the budget
for bullets and arms has been spent in a war of
attrition - billions that should have bought food,
shelter, medicine and clothing to Juan de la Cruz.
Why?
