With the declaration of war on drugs, terrorism and crime,
President Rodrigo Duterte is walking the extra mile to forge a lasting peace
with Moro rebels and the communists to pave the way for a brighter future of
Filipinos, but the road to law, order and peace has a price to pay.
For weeks now, President Duterte took time to pay his last
respect to policemen and soldiers who have died in line with their duties that
include the 15 brave soldiers killed in pursuit of punitive actions against
members of Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) in Jolo.
“Everytime I sign something that would have to deal with
procurement, bullets and arms and all that could hurt the human being, I’m not
comfortable with it.”
The President said this on Wednesday night with the members
of the The Annointed Church in Davao
City , after visiting the
wounded soldiers in Zamboanga, and the body of those who died in the offensive.
“I have to do my duty to be with my soldiers,” President
Duterte said.
“I went to Zamboanga to (just) visit the dead and the wounded
soldiers. Marami akong nakita na sabog yung na-trauma, tinamaan ng bala. May
isa doon, he lost his, altogether ‘yung shoulder niya. May mga tinamaan rin na
comatose na.”
The President said “I am also sad to see the other side also
suffering and being wounded. Puro Pilipino tayo eh, ‘yan ang mahirap diyan.”
Earlier, President Duterte said “Interesado ako kasi ‘yung
bakbakan diyan sa Jolo, hanggang ngayon. Sayang ‘yung pera, sayang ‘yung bala.
Ipatay mo rin sa kapwa mo Pilipino.”
The money used to buy bullets, the President repeatedly said
whenever he speaks to the public, can be used to help the Filipinos, especially
the poor, to improve their lives.
But the government has to do its thing, maintain the peace
and stop those who perpetrate crimes. He is looking forward to meet Moro
National Liberation Front (MNLF) Chairman Nur Misuari to discuss peace in Mindanao , Duterte said : Kung mga komunista pumayag na,
baka dito sa panahon ko, kung maawa si Allah, eh ‘di meron tayong magandang
swerte sa buhay.”
