The female soldiers who fought in the five-month Marawi siege were already on an all-expense paid trip to Hong Kong, President Rodrigo Duterte said Tuesday night.
“They are already there,” Duterte said when a reporter asked about his promised Hong Kong vacation to the female soldiers.
He said budget airline Cebu Pacific paid for their airfare while he took care of their allowances.
The President did not disclose the date the soldiers left for Hong Kong and how long they would stay there.
He had earlier promised a Hong Kong vacation for the female soldiers who fought for the liberation of Marawi when he visited the frontlines of the besieged city in September. /atm
