Sa public address ng pangulo, sinabi nito na wala nang pag-asa ang peace talks.
“There is no more peace talks to talk about. I am not, I will never be ready for any round of talks,” pahayag ng pangulo.
Ikinadismaya ng pangulo ang pag-atake ng NPA sa mga sundalo sa Aurora at iba pang bahagi ng bansa habang abala sa pagtugon sa COVID-19.
“Again, this is a sad thing to know that ‘yung mga sundalo ko pinagpapatay while doing the most honorable task of accompanying the government workers delivering money and the food. Am so sad about this development but there will always be a time for reckoning,” pahayag ng pangulo
Wala na aniyang respeto ang NPA.
“Kasi simply, the NPA, the Communist Party of the Philippines, has no respect either for their spoken words or in their deeds of killing soldiers who are on humanitarian missions,” pahayag ng pangulo.
