The Communist Party of the Philippines said it will no longer support the anti-drug war of President Rodrigo Duterte’s administration, which they say is “bound to fail” following the increasing number of extra-judicial killings of suspected drug personalities.
President Rodrigo Duterte said that he does not want anything to happen to Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) leader Nur Misuari and Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) founding chairperson Jose Maria Sison, saying that they are “men of principle”.
President Rodrigo Duterte asked the Communist Party of the Philippines if they are also willing to pursue peace. “Kami sa gubyerno gusto namin, eh kayo? (The government wants peace, what about you?)”
Both the top-ranking foreign diplomats of the Philippines and Japan agreed that the resolution of the West Philippine Sea issue should be based on the rule of law.
Four days before the celebration of Kadayawan Festival this year, Davao City Police Office (DCPO) already geared up to do intense security monitoring of the city during the event.
Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida said that he hopes his visit to the Philippines will strengthen the strategic partnership and cooperation between the two nations.
