From the Philippine News Agency (Nov 24): Duterte leads 1st Scout Ranger Regiment anniversary in Bulacan
President Rodrigo Roa Duterte is now a proud member of the elite First Scout Ranger Regiment (FSRR).
Clad in a scout ranger uniform, the President on Friday was bestowed the honorary Scout Ranger badge by Brig. Gen. Rene Glen Paje during the 67th founding anniversary of the FSRR held in this camp.
Paje, commanding general of the scout ranger, said that the Chief Executive has been very supportive to the military troops.
President Duterte, for his part, congratulated the scout ranger troops for their efforts and sacrifices, particularly during the Marawi crisis.
The Chief Executive and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Philippines also led the awarding of medals to 44 fallen soldiers of the FSRR and 83 others for their exemplary sacrifice and gallantry in battle.
During his speech, the President reiterated before the scout rangers that he has already signed a proclamation terminating the peace talks with the Communist Party of the Philippines-National Democratic Front and New People’s Army (CPP-NDF-NPA).
The President said that he had already noted the trend of thoughts of the other side and its pure non-sense.
He also said that he is building a strong military with modern weapons.
He said that all firearms used in Marawi will be replaced and the government will purchase more helicopters.
Meanwhile, the President also announced that he is set to sign an executive order returning the administration’s war on drugs to the Philippine National Police (PNP) from the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agencey (PDEA).
He also stressed that he is determined to end corruption.
