Saying he had lost many soldiers and policemen in the operation against the Maute group in Marawi City, President Duterte on Sunday night rejected peace talks and said he wanted all the terrorists holed up in the city dead. ADVERTISEMENTThe peace corridor was a result of the meeting last week between President Duterte and the MILF. Santiago said the peace corridor covered the area from Banggolo Bridge up to Quezon Avenue of Marawi, which is about 3 kilometers. She said she hoped that the military and the Maute group could implement another truce for the 1,000 to 2,000 civilians who remained trapped in the war zone. Earlier, President Duterte said the siege would be over within days.
