An explosion hit a market in Davao city in Southern Philippines, at least 10 people were reportedly killed and 60 were injured. Police suspected an improvised explosive device, but there is no official confirmation of the cause. This explosion follows President Duterte’s aggressive crackdown on corruption and drugs in his nation and a thwarted assassination attempt.
As GMANetwork reports, President Rodrigo Duterte is not going to change his travel schedule despite the Philippine National Police thwarting an assassination attempt against him.
“No, no, no, absolutely no. I live the way I want it. I work the way I must,” Duterte said during a press conference in Davao del Norte on Friday, dismissing the idea of cutting-back on his trips outside his principal workplace over security concerns.
Nevertheless, the president understood that the strain his travels put on the Presidential Security Group (PSG).
