THE New People’s Army (NPA) is planning to launch attacks in Davao City a day before President Rodrigo Duterte delivers his second State of the Nation Address, Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Ronald de la Rosa said on Monday. They will disrupt Davao before SONA so we are preparing for that,” De la Rosa said in a news conference. De la Rosa said government troops will fight back when attacked. The PNP chief said no other threat to the SONA, such as a terror attack, was monitored. “As for the moment, we have not received anything specific, we have not monitored any terror attacks,” de la Rosa noted.
