Duterte: NPA, Abu Sayyaf are the real enemies

PRESIDENT Rodrigo Duterte has urged soldiers not to lose sight of the "real enemy"  as he appealed to government forces to remain calm amid an ongoing investigation into a shooting incident involving police officers that led to the killing of four Army intelligence personnel in Jolo, Sulu early this week.

In his speech during his visit at the Edwin Andrews Air Base in Zamboanga City on Friday, Duterte told the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) to direct their attention to targeting the New People's Army (NPA) and Abu Sayyaf Group instead of the Philippine National Police (PNP).
