President Duterte returned to Marawi on Thursday, the same day soldiers were reported to have recaptured the Grand Mosque in the war-ravaged city. Photos from Special Assistant to the President Christopher Go showed Mr. Duterte in fatigues, wearing a helmet and vest. This was the third time that Mr. Duterte visited the city since fighting broke out between government forces and pro-Islamic State extremist groups in the area. Duterte, as usual, spoke before troops stationed inside the main battle area, repeating his earlier pledge to look after them.
