This is the photograph that Malacanang released together with its statement on the release of police prisoners to presidential frontrunner Rodrigo Duterte. Photo came out in Philippine Daily Inquirer, 27 April 2016
The image of police prisoners of the New People’s Army being released to Davao City Mayor and presidential frontrunner Rodrigo Duterte is “cause to be alarmed,” presidential spokesman Herminio Coloma said Wednesday.
In response to a question about Malacanang’s reaction to the release of police prisoners of the rebel group and the prospect of an NPA-friendly president, Coloma said:
“Freedom-loving citizens would find sufficient cause to be alarmed at the picture published in a major broadsheet (PDI, 27 April), where erstwhile captive PNP officers are shown wearing shirts with POW (Prisoner of War) printed thereon and being paraded by heavily armed NPA members in the company of Mayor Duterte, with the CPP, NPA and the NDF flags prominently displayed in the background.
“This picture (PDI 27 April) should lead us to think seriously and be concerned if this is the future for the Philippines which presidential candidate Duterte is offering to our people.”
