Patricia Andal, NDFP-Mindoro spokesperson, said Jeffrey delos Reyes was “fulfilling his tasks for the peace talks” when police arrested him on Sept. 19. She did not elaborate on Delos Reyes’ supposed role in the peace talks. “The arrest of Delos Reyes… is an incontrovertible truth that… the police are insincere toward the ongoing peace talks,” Andal said in a statement on Thursday. ADVERTISEMENTOn Aug. 26, the NDFP and government representatives agreed to an indefinite cessation of armed hostilities after the first round of formal peace talks held in Oslo, Norway. Delos Reyes, police said, has two other standing arrest warrants for frustrated and attempted murder in Occidental Mindoro province.
