President Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr. has asked Filipino soldiers to become peacemakers as the government carries out a new approach to dealing with the communists and terrorist groups it is trying to eliminate.
President Marcos said the government will now present rebels with "other options."
In his speech on March 16, the President said that the government will now present rebels with "other options." "And that, I think, has become the reason why we have slowly succeeded in the so-called whole-of-society, whole-of-nation approach in terms of our dealings with these groups that originally would like to bring down the government by armed struggle," he continued.
"That's why your role as the Philippine military continues to be as warfighters, but now there is the additional mission that we are asking of you to be peacemakers," he added.
