We want peace and order restored nationwide. But are we so desperate that we
want to revive one of the most notorious units of the Marcos dictatorship?
Recent reports said President Estrada has agreed to reactivate paramilitary
units to augment government troops fighting communist and Muslim secessionist
rebels. An initial 35,000 men will be recruited for the Citizens Armed Force
Geographical Units or CAFGU.

What sort of people are recruited for militia work?

Ten priests, three nuns and three lay ministers spearheaded the recommendation
for the absolute pardon of Norberto Manero, convicted murderer of Italian
priest Fr. Tullio Favali, records at the Department of Justice showed.

Meanwhile, in a television interview in an undisclosed place in Mindanao,
Manero said he preferred to go back to the hills instead of languishing in jail
anew if President Estrada recalls his parole.

If people tend to believe criticisms that this administration is rudderless,
it's because of cases like the pardon of Norberto Manero. The public can only
gasp in dismay when their President admits, with his usual candor, that he was
surprised by something he himself had made possible. In the last weeks of 1999,
someone had submitted to President Estrada a list of 500 prisoners eligible for
conditional pardon.
