President Rodrigo Duterte condemned the ambush by the New People’s Army (NPA) of four policemen in Bansalan, Davao del Sur as he ordered state forces to wage war against the communist rebels.

“I will ask the armed forces and police to go ahead and wage a war against them (NPA),” Duterte told reporters in an ambush interview in Davao del Sur.

The President directed the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and the Philippine National Police (PNP) to use all available assets against the NPA.
