President Rodrigo Duterte finally visited Marawi City on Thursday, fulfilling his promise to set foot in the conflict zone as fighting between government troops and Islamic State-linked terrorists continue.
Duterte’s trip to the besieged city was unannounced, and Malacañang only informed the media of the visit when the President had already left the city.

The Commander-in-Chief had said he wanted to visit the besieged city so he could boost the morale of his troops. He said it would not make sense to visit the city when there is no more fighting.
“Maski matamaan ako kahit sa pwet… wala iyan. I will try again, not because of braggadocio. It’s just that ayaw kong magpunta doon na peaceful na,” added the President, who has been making rounds of military camps in Mindanao to rally the troops.
