Statement of Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process Jesus G. Dureza on the CPP/NPA/NDF’s call to proceed with the bilateral ceasefire negotiations

We welcome and respect the positive position coming from the leadership of the CPP/NPA/NDF. On the part of the Philippine government, we share the same commitment to work for just and lasting peace in the land. When "compelling reasons," as President Duterte earlier announced, are present, then we in government shall take the next necessary steps. (PR/posted by Redline News Phlippines)
