Neri appeals for ‘1-year political cease fire’


Acting Higher Education chairman Romulo Neri called on political leaders to abandon the “politics of hate" and declare “one year of social peace" so that the country could focus on solving its problems. “I urge our political leaders to abandon this politics of hate and go for the politics of hope and progress where we practice human decency and respect for the dignity of our fellowmen," Neri said in a statement. “I urge our political leaders to declare one year of social peace so we can focus on the real solutions to our nation's deeply-rooted problems," he said. Deputy presidential spokesperson Lorelei Fajardo said the Palace supports Neri's call for a one-year “political ceasefire." Fajardo said President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo only has less than two and a half years left in her term, so she should be given the chance to unify the country and continue her administration's growth program. She said the bickering among some senators over the witnesses in the broadband deal probe weakens their credibility. She called the senators should set aside their personal motives, act as statesmen and think of the welfare of the majority. - GMANews.TV
