MANILA, Philippines - Some 103 members of the House of Representatives urged President Duterte yesterday to resume the peace talks of the government with the National Democratic Front-Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army (NDF-CPP-NPA).
The call is contained in Resolution 769, which was initiated by the leftist Makabayan bloc of seven party-list representatives led by Bayan Muna.
