I will not mention the names,” he stated. “During my time, wala na akong second-hand mga barko, barko. It has to be brand new. Hindi na ako tatanggap ng mga gear ng army na second-hand. Iyong ibinibigay ng Amerikano, ayaw ko na ‘yan. Even I’ve to spend double the cash,” the President additional.

That is their favorite sanctuary.
They also refer the Geneva Conference ‘pag pabor nila. ‘Pag nadehado sila, wala silang ingay sa Geneva Conference. And that’s usually the issue because the government can never disregard treaties and the regulations of the land,” he said. “Kung terorista lang din tayo, madali na natapos ‘yan. Bombahan mo lang lahat, tapos na isang araw. Eh marami na akong jet planes ngayon, sampu na ‘yan,” Duterte additional.
The military continues to be conducting offensive operations towards the Maute associates because May 23 when the militants attacked Marawi. Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana stated previously the military could completely clear Marawi of terrorists by June two. But in a information briefing on Friday, Brigadier General Restituto Padilla, military spokesman, stated that it had been not possible any longer. “It was a deadline that was established forth and provided by the Secretary of National Defense so we can aim for it.
However the final choice really rests around the ground commander. And primarily based around the report that we’re obtaining I don’t believe we are able to satisfy that deadline today to totally — I’d prefer to qualify that — to totally free Marawi of every single armed element in each street,” he stated. But he added the government forces had been working and doing their best to instantly total the mission.
