Manila: Peace talks with communist rebels will no longer continue, unless there’s a compelling reason to do so, President Rodrigo Duterte told reporters during his visit to his parents’ graves in Davao City. “Peace talks will remain cancelled unless there is a compelling reason that will benefit the interest of the nation,” Duterte said yesterday, a day after he lifted the government’s unilateral ceasefire with the New People’s Army, the armed wing of the Communist Party of the Philippines.
