President Rodrigo Duterte repeated
his guarantee to protect soldiers who would face charges associated with their
obligations. He said performing a duty for a nation is a "noble job"
so he would "not allow a single soldier to stay in prison even for one
day."
"I assure you that you are not
alone in this fight. As long as you perform your mandate in accordance with
law, this administration will remain steadfast in supporting your organization
and provide you with the necessary tools and resources that enable you to
effectively fulfill your duty as defenders of the nation," he said.
"If it is in the performance
of your duty and you face charges, criminal and all, you need not worry. I will
take the blame personally and I will protect you. And I would never, never
allow you to go to jail," the president added.
