President Rodrigo Duterte on Sunday kissed the ground where the twin explosions in Jolo, Sulu took place.

Duterte visited the blast site yesterday and paid respect to the soldiers and civilians killed in last week’s bomb attacks.

“Lumuhod ako, hinalikan ko ‘yung at least semento to where my soldiers and the countless and the num — at saka ‘yung mga Tausug na walang ka — their lives snuffed out for no reason at all,” the President said during his talk with the troops.

In his speech, Duterte urged the military to actively address the threat of terrorists in the province.

“This unfortunate incident is only one of the countless incidents that proved that we should never be complacent when it comes to terrorism. Lagi ninyong tandaan na ang kaligtasan ng ating mamamayan at mga komunidad ang inyong prayoridad,” he said.
