The Brave President - Despite being warned about the risk, Duterte visited Marawi again. ~Share

Soaking wet Duterte goes to the front line to meet soldiers.

Despite the high risk on his life and against the advice of his generals, our beloved and hard-headed President Rody Duterte went to Marawi amidst the heavy rain. Is our President being reckless?

I wonder if Former President B. S. Aquino (FPBSAquino) ever did this?

I can appreciate what Duterte is doing, but I wished he'd be more careful. We cannot afford to lose him.

I know he needs to it to show solidarity with the troops raise their morale, but every time I read the news about the President doing this; I get this nerve wrecking feeling about what would have happened if things went wrong.



Actually, as the military revealed President Rodrigo Duterte did not just visit Marawi City but went straight to the main battleground of the troops fighting the ISIS-aligned groups. “President Duterte entered the main battle area and visited the soldiers and policemen fighting in Marawi City,” Petinglay said.

“Even the heavy rain could not stop the commander-in-chief in visiting his troops in the frontline yesterday (Friday),” said Capt. Jo-Ann Petinglay, spokesperson of the Western Mindanao Command (Wesmincom) and the Joint Task Force Marawi, in a statement.

To boost the morale of the soldiers, the president also distributed all-weather watches and goods for the soldiers. The president also reminded the soldiers to take cautions until terrorists are wiped out in Marawi.



Duterte also reiterated his promised to provide P50 billion worth of trust fund and scholarship for the dependents of soldiers and cops.

A military official added that “When the president left, the troops were all smiles and visibly on high morale seeing our commander-in-chief,”

Yes, we have a brave President, do you remember former President B. S. Aquino do this? All I remember of FBSAquino was that he practically avoided seeing the fallen SAF 44.
