"Napakabobo naman nitong NPA na ‘to" - Duterte

President Rodrigo Roa Duterte just called the decades old communist movement in the country as “idiots.”

The New People’s Army (NPA) has been consistent in their treacherous attacks against government troops, even if the President has already declared his openness and desire for the possible resumption of peace talks with its political wing, the National Democratic Front (NDF).

He made the remark when the NPA rebels thought they can control the entire country.

“As long as the Filipinos are jobless and we cannot improve the country, (that is) because the country is full of idiots who think that they can take over government. Napakabobo naman nitong NPA na ‘to. (NPA members are stupid),” he said during the situation briefing on the effects of the Taal Volcano’s eruption in Batangas City.

“Gulo ng gulo, hindi naman nila kaya to take over this country (They only sow chaos. They cannot even take over this country). They cannot even occupy barangay (a village for) 24 hours. Sabi ko sa sundalo, patayin mo na iyan. Walang silbi iyan (I told the soldiers to kill them because they are useless),” he added.

The Communist Party of the Philippines- New People’s Army (CPP-NPA)  has been listed as a terrorist group by the Philippines, the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand.
