MAWAB, Compostela Valley<\/strong> \u2014 President Rodrigo Roa Duterte attended the establishment of TienDa Para sa mga Bayani at Camp General Manuel T. Yan, Sr. in Mawab, Compostela Valley on Monday, January 22.<\/p>\n

In his speech, President Duterte said the project, initiated by the Department of Agriculture (DA), aims to provide a safer and more accessible marketplace for the members of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP).<\/p>\n

\u201cThis started or this was precipitated by my anger. Na \u2018yung mga sundalo everywhere, be it in Jolo, dito Mawab, Mati, everywhere, there\u2019s a market day for the soldiers to eat, subsistence. Usually niyan, apat, tatlo. Ang problema pinapatay,\u201d he said recalling previous ambuscades and attacks against men in uniform.<\/p>\n

\u201cSabi ko kay<\/em>\u00a0Secretary (Delfin) Lorenzana,\u00a0pati kay<\/em>\u00a0General (Eduardo) A\u00f1o: This has to stop.\u00a0Maghanap kayo ng paraan<\/em>, concoct, invent or whatever.\u00a0Bahala na kayo basta<\/em>\u00a0try to correct the aberration,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

TienDA Para sa mga Bayani is a trading center set up inside the Army\u2019s 10th Infantry Division where farmers and fisherfolks can sell their products directly to soldiers at an affordable price. Basic commodities such as rice, vegetables, fruits, eggs, meat and fish will be sold in the outlet.<\/p>\n

The President reminded soldiers to be careful whenever they go out of their camps citing persistent threats from the communists.<\/p>\n

Duterte stressed anew that the government would not return to the negotiating table with the communists until he sees sincerity and commitment for genuine peace talks from their leader Jose Maria \u201cJoma\u201d Sison.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet it not be said that I did not try during my time to make peace with everybody because that is the job of the President,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHindi ako ‘yung Presidente na patay-patay. Ako ‘yung presidente na gustong ayusin ang aking bayan na mapayapa sa panahon ko at ‘yun ang iiwan ko sa inyo<\/em>,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

He then encouraged the members of the New People\u2019s Army (NPA) to return to government fold assuring them of protection, financial assistance and livelihood.<\/p>\n

The President, meanwhile, rejected proposals of term extension should the country shift to federal form of government.<\/p>\n

\u201cAko sinasabi ko sa inyo ngayon, pag ako sumobra sa aking termino, isang araw lang<\/em>, I am now asking the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the PNP not to allow me or anybody else to mess up with the Constitution,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cInyong trabaho ‘yan,<\/em>\u00a0to protect the Constitution, and to protect the people. Remember it as a solemn duty.\u00a0Kaya ako \u2018pag sumobra, gusto kong mag-diktador, barilin ninyo ako<\/em>,\u201d he added.\u00a0(PND)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
