ZAMBOANGA CITY, Dec. 2 (PIA) -- President Rodrigo Roa Duterte emphasized in his message during the inauguration of 143 Social and Tourism Ports here that terrorism should not be tolerated but instead eliminated in the country.
"I never tolerate terrorism," he said.
As the President’s delivering his speech, he shared that he tried to reach out to the communists terrorists group leaders to talk with sincerity on equal terms but it resulted to regression.
“Even with the objections of the military, I still reached-out pero ayaw nila,” he explained.
President Duterte said for over 53 years now, the communist terrorist groups (CTGs) continue to destroy the lives of the Filipinos and this should be put to an end by institutionalizing campaigns on ending local communist armed conflict which should be sustained even beyond 2022 in order to attain inclusive and lasting peace in the country.
He also stressed that even with the difficulties encountered amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, the administration remained unrelenting in pursuing its commitments to the Filipinos.
“I am always mindful of my promises. Even if I did not totally complete it, I can say with pride, I fulfilled most of them,” said President Duterte.
He assured the Filipino people that the Duterte administration will be persistent in implementing vital infrastructure projects to improve lives and remain steadfast in pursuing sustainable development projects in the country.
He is also hopeful that problems of illegal drugs and terrorism will be prioritized by the next government. (EDT/RVC/JRA/PIA9-Zamboanga City)
