Duterte firm: No more peace talks with Reds

SAYING he has had enough, President Rodrigo Duterte declared that it’s time to resume fighting as he insisted that he no longer wanted to revive the peace negotiations with communist rebels.

“No more, wala na (It’s over). We can start the war, yes, after I shall have completed the training and distribute the new firearms, we will go into an offensive,” Duterte said in an interview aired on government-run People’s Television Network on Friday night.
