Duterte says to visit Jolo after twin explosions

MANILA - President Rodrigo Duterte said Sunday he would visit Jolo, Sulu following twin explosions there that left at least 15 dead and scores wounded."Mabigyan ko lang 'yung mga sundalo natin, mga sundalo ko, mga pulis ko, ng importansya sa kanilang kamatayan. I’ll go there to fulfill the duty of a commander in chief," he said.

The Aug. 24 blasts, allegedly perpetrated by the Abu Sayyaf Group, left 8 soldiers and one policeman dead, as well as six civilians. The injured also included 20 military personnel, six police personnel, and 48 civilians. The President had been staying in his hometown Davao City, even before the explosions. Officials said he was "safe" and in a "good condition" following the incident.

Malacañang has said Duterte would consider the proposal of law enforcers to place the southern province under martial rule but the Philippine Army has since dropped the recommendation. The military earlier identified as suspects behind the attacks the Indonesian widow of the first Filipino suicide bomber and the wife of an Abu Sayyaf leader.

Why telegraph the message to the terrorists? Or it's just for SHOW!😂

and this is for you Rody

And so?

Rararavena1 Bakit hindi nyo ginamit yung hashtag? Pag oust oust o sonagkaisa nangunguna kayo diba? Biased kayo? 🧐

Hindi ka ho namin napagkikita except sa every two weeks na midnight taped briefing ninyo. Bumalik ho muna kayo ng Manila where you’re supposed to be.

Sir, Why don’t you go to the hospital as well to give your support to all the health workers, front line people who are fighting Covid for your country as well. Give them their desired salary and benefits as they are the new hero of this time!?

bibisita pero saglit. Photo op lang!

Kala ko ba walang gnagawa.....!!!
