VT: The special report is scheduled to be published today, Sunday. BTW, one of our interviewees, Judge Sol Santos Jr of the Philippine Campaign to Ban Landmines suggested a possible confidence-building step to resuming talks: a moratorium or a calibrated reduction on the NPA use of command-detonated landmines might be reciprocated by something just as significant (say a moratorium or calibrated reduction on the AFP use of artillery fire and/or air strikes) on the GPH side (i.e., agreement on at least a relatively “small matter” of weapons use).
VT: Ang ispesyal na ulat ay nakatakdang ilabas ngayong araw, Linggo. Anu't anuman, isa mga nakapanayam, si Judge Sol Santos, Jr. ng Philippine Campaign to Ban Landmines, ay nagmungkahi ng isang posibleng hakbang para sa pagbubuo ng tiwala para maipagpatuloy ang usapan: ng isang moratoryum o tantyadong pagbabawas ng BHB ng paggamit ng command-detonated na mga pasabog ay maaaring tuwangan ng isang bagay na kasing singnipikante (halimbawa ng isang moratoryum o tantyadong pagbabawas ng AFP ng paggamit ng panganganyon at/o pambobomba) sa panig ng GPH (i.e., kasunduan kahit sa relatibong "maliit na bagay" ng paggamit ng sandata).
