The government and communist rebels on Monday agreed to negotiate an interim ceasefire agreement as peace talks resumed in the Netherlands after a one-day delay over President Rodrigo Duterte’s insistence on a clear bilateral truce. The chief government negotiator, Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello 3rd, welcomed the “openness” of the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP) to craft a joint interim ceasefire during the peace negotiations, in his opening remarks for the fourth round of talks between the government and the NDFP at the Radisson Blue Palace Hotel in Noordwijk, the Netherlands.
