TOP Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) leaders Benito Tiamzon and his wife Wilma were freed from detention in Camp Crame Friday, days after President Rodrigo Duterte promised that all peace consultants of the National Democratic Front (NDF) will be released.

The couple left Camp Crame before noon yesterday after the Philippine National Police received a copy of the ruling of a court in Samar granting them temporary liberty. Benito, the chairman of the CPP, and his wife are facing several charges in various courts. Wilma is the secretary-general of the CPP, the political arm of the NDF.
