LUCENA CITY — The communist insurgents are now rethinking their stand on being open to peace talks with the government. “In view of the murder of NDFP consultant Randy Malayao, the NDFP and all revolutionary forces within its fold are now in the process of reconsidering its policy of being open to peace negotiations with the GRP (government) under the Duterte regime,” Jose Maria Sison, exiled Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) founder, said in a statement from Utrecht in the Netherlands Wednesday. The communist leader also said that the murder of Randy Malayao and other criminal offenses of the Duterte regime “will result in the intensification of revolutionary armed struggle.”“The blood of martyrs is never shed in vain. It inspires the greater resistance of the people to tyranny,” he reiterated. /eeADVERTISEMENTRead NextLATEST STORIESMOST READ
