(Eagle News) — Never fear. Do your duty.
President Rodrigo Duterte on Friday reiterated his unwavering support for the military, who he said were the “silent heroes who risk their lives everyday.”
He said as such, “in recognition of their valor,” the government was crafting a law that would provide them with comprehensive social and financial assitance “should they meet any harm.”
He said the government would also provide health care assistance and education to the soldiers’ children.
“That is my way of telling troops never fear, do your duty. I stand behind you so does this govmt and all its agencies,” he said.
