Govt to be stricter on visits to Tiamzons

THE government peace panel on Friday scored the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP) for “distorting” information regarding the visiting rights of jailed communist couple Benito and Wilma Tiamzon.

Because of this “distortion” of facts by the NDFP, the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process (OPAPP) said it was “constrained from making its usual ready endorsement to the PNP [Philippine National Police]” regarding the visitation rights of the Tiamzons.
