For weeks I have been problematizing the strategies of the government in dealing with the numerous crises that bombard the Philippine archipelago from sun up to sun down.
In the event of succession for PNP chief, the contenders will have their chance to express the plans for Philippine issues that concerns them.
The issue of insurgency in the
Reading through the statements of Deputy Director General Jesus Verzosa, I sensed some hope for the issue of insurgency. Instead of declaring war against the insurgents, he instead declared a rather hopeful strategy. Rather than bloodshed, he chose to cull the reasons of insurgency. What a statement from an officer, who wanted to pursue understanding than waste ammo in the battlefield, chasing one after the other.
Indeed, this country is tired of wars in the mountains and plains. The nation needs a more rational, real and objective pursuit of dealing with the crises. It’s high time to put a cap on the ammo and trace other paths other than engaging conflicts forever. The life that breathes inside each nation needs much more that the ideology that people are dying for.
I hope that those people sitting in ivory towers will follow the same path. We can never stop insurgency by killing the people who are part of it but we can put of the flames the keep insurgency burning by listening to the people, knowing their needs and their reasons for rebellion. Wars against insurgency will just rise up more insurgents; it will never silence it. thus, we must turn around our approach in dealing with this issue.
