President Rodrigo Duterte arrived at the 4th Infantry
Division here, the largest military camp, at about 4:20 Tuesday afternoon on
board a civilian helicopter.
The President arrived at the Laguindingan Airport
Duterte, clad in a checkered blue polo shirt, off-white
pants, and a pair of rubber shoes, walked toward the military headquarters
after disembarking from a civilian helicopter that landed on the military
ground a few meters away from Philippine Army headquarters.
The visit, dubbed as “Talk to Troops”, is among the regular
visits of President Duterte to military camps in the country where he
personally interacts with government troopers, a military official said.
The Presidential Security Group has barred the taking of
photos and television footage of the President as the helicopter landed and
while he was walking toward the army headquarters where he will have a
close-door conference with top military and police officials in Northern Mindanao .
The photo ops and television footage would be allowed only
in the military gymnasium where the President would deliver a message to the
military personnel and the few invited local officials.
Capt. Patrick Martinez, the spokesperson of the army’s 4ID,
said the President would also pay his last respect to the army trooper who was
killed in action in an armed encounter with the communist rebels in Bukidnon
last week.
He said from the camp mortuary, Duterte would visit the
wounded soldiers who are undergoing treatment at the army station hospital in
the military camp.
