MANILA, Philippines — The Communist Party of the Philippines’ negotiating arm now awaits the written notice from the government terminating intermittent peace talks that aimed to end nearly half-century long of insurgency. “Peace negotiations shall be deemed terminated 30 days after receipt of the written notice of termination,” he said. Agcaoili also said the NDFP is expecting the government to comply with the process of abrogating the peace negotiations. He would express readiness to talk to the insurgents after declaring that peace negotiations with them are just a "waste of money." A self-styled socialist, Duterte reactivated peace talks with communists in August last year.
