Arroyo calls for political ceasefire
President Arroyo on Thursday called for a political ceasefire in the spirit of the upcoming Yuletide season and also to help the country bear the brunt of the current global financial crisis.
There will be peace in Mindanao, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo said Saturday night as she described as a temporary setback in the peace process the renewed fighting that broke out in the region following the attacks on civilian populations by renegade forces of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front.
