60-day truce
terminated £
in Philippines
MANILA, Philippines (AP) —
A 60-day truce with Communist
rebels formally expired Sunday
without hope of extension, and
the government sasd it would step
up military patrols while pursu
ing peace talks on a regional level.
A rebel umbrella group urged
as members to **wage militant and
unremitting struggles on all
fronts. ” Some groups have said
they opposed regional talks '
The head of the committee
that monitored compliance with
the cease-fire urged President
Coraaon Aquino to intervene to
prevent a civil war.

The government responded by
saying it would not agree to an
extension of the cease fire unless
the rebels agreed to resume “sub
stantial negotiations to end the
1$ year insurrection
The rebels said new talks
would be fruitless because the
new constitution, approved last
week, imposed too many kmita-
t ions on what is negotiable.
