President Rodrigo Duterte is optimistic that the ongoing clash of state forces against the ISIS-linked Maute group will be over “in a matter of days,” saying the government is “winning the war” in Marawi City.
“The way it’s being evolving now, I think it will be a matter of days...Before the end of the month, matatapos na eh. We are winning the war, do not worry,” Duterte said in a speech to cops at Camp Quintin Merecido in Buhangin, Davao City.
Once the situation in Marawi has stabilized, Duterte said he intends to “look into” how the Maute group got hold of a large supply of guns and ammunition.
“Before I left for Russia, I was told that there was massing of troops per intelligence reports. Hindi ko akalain na ganoon kadami ang bala na sa kanila nakuha at bakit sila nakapagtago,” he said.
Duterte had to cut short his visit to Russia after the Maute group’s attack in Marawi City, as government troops attempted to arrest terror leader Isnilon Hapilon.
Duterte however said that “there’s no telling when” the fight with terrorists will end.
This positive mind-set could definitely be an inspiration to all. The on-going war in Marawi City is a learned lesson to the government where those rebels are getting funds of.
