Former
rebels entering politics is good for the country’s democracy, the Palace
said on Monday as it welcomed the participation of some leftist
personalities in the 2013 election.
“We have always maintained that a non-violent participation in the political
mainstream would certainly be welcomed from whatever sector you come from
whether from the extreme right or from the extreme left,” Presidential
Spokesman Edwin Lacierda said in a press briefing in Malacanang on Monday.
“Because you acknowledged the legitimacy of the process, you acknowledged
the existing laws and therefore, any participation from previous rebels
identify with either extreme left or extreme right would certainly be
welcomed to us,” he added.
Lacierda was commenting on reports saying Randall Echanis, a former
political detainee during the Marcos, Cory Aquino and Arroyo governments,
is running for a post representing the Anakpawis party-list.
Echanis, 63, is the deputy secretary general of the national peasant group
Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas (KMP). He is a peasant organizer and
advocate for more than 40 years.
Echanis was previously arrested but freed under the Joint Agreement on
Security and Immunity Guarantee (JASIG). The military said it has
information saying Echanis is a ranking New People’s Army (NPA) leader but
the leftist group claims that he is a consultant to the National Democratic
Front (NDF). PND (as/3:41pm)
