THE government will seek justice for the policemen killed in an ambush staged by suspected members of the New People’s Army (NPA) in Guihulngan City, Negros Oriental, a spokesman for President Rodrigo Duterte said on Saturday. “We assure everyone that we would not rest until justice is served against those responsible for this crime,” he added. The Palace official said the wounded policemen would also receive assistance from the government. On Friday, Duterte declared that the government forces were ready to fight the communist rebels “for another 50 years.”“Let us stop talking. Let’s start fighting, stop talking,” the President said in a speech in Davao City.
