MAYOR Sara Duterte-Carpio said the city government and the New People’s Army (NPA)’s political units are still drafting written agreements for localized peace talks.
Duterte said she would rather have a written agreement instead of conducting talks of an “extemporaneous” nature.
“I would rather have it written,” Duterte said.
Last month, Duterte and the NPA agreed to hold localized peace talks.

However, the NPA maintained that the rebel group would be represented by members of the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP).
The call for a dialogue came after a clash in the Paquibato and Calinan Districts led to the death of at least five last Feb. 16.
Duterte called for the talks days after the clash.
“My offer is limited by my authority over the area of my responsibility. I suggest you think about this offer seriously since this will benefit you, our fellow Dabawenyos, and our beloved city. In the event that you will decline my offer, I can only pray that there will be no more deaths and leave everything to the Armed Forces of the Philippines, and to God,” she said.
