Duterte seeks parameters for peace talks

To ensure that the peace talks with communist rebels will be smooth and have more chance of success, President Rodrigo Duterte said the government panel and the National Democratic Front (NDF) should come up with parameters that will be observed when negotiations resume next month.

In his speech during the 1st General Assembly of the League of Municipalities of the Philippine, the President said peace restoration and reinstatement of the ceasefire must have clear parameters since there was no framework in the past.
