Sa nagdaang limang taon ng kanyang pagkapangulo, nagsimula si Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte sa pagsisikap na makipag-usap ng kapayapaan sa Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) at ang armadong grupo nito, ang New People's Army (NPA), na humantong sa pagdeklara ng isang all-out war sa kilusan upang wakasan, sa loob ng kanyang termino, ang 52-taong armadong pakikibaka.
In the past five years of his presidency, President Rodrigo Duterte went from trying to talk peace with the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) and its armed wing, the New People’s Army (NPA), to declaring an all-out war with the movement to end the 52-year armed struggle within his term.
On July 26, President Rodrigo Duterte delivered his sixth and final State of the Nation Address (SONA), which lasted approximately two hours and 46 minutes.
Eleven more months to go but militants wanted to make sure that President Duterte gets their message: Guilty and out.
