is president duterte taking the region in a new direction? trillanes in manila, welcome to hardtalk. hello, stephen. thank you very much for inviting me. we speak at a difficult time for your country. in mindanao in the south of the philippines, you have a national emergency with a town that for weeks has faced a siege because it has been, in essence, taken over byjihadist gunmen. the president says this is a national emergency and it is time for the country to unify. do you agree? i agree that what is happening in marawi is a national crisis and something that we should deal with decisively. i feel that the armed forces, historically, have faced more difficult challenges before and they can overcome this challenge once again and i have no doubt that the armed forces of the philippines will subdue the maute group. a few days ago, the finance minister made a clear point of associating the maute, associating them with drug crime. he said there is no doubt that much of the money they make and the way they operate comes from their involvement in

back in april he testified that he heard mr duterte say...riminal suspects... "throw them in the ocean or the quarry. make it clean. make sure there are no traces of the body." there is one particular story where mr lascanas claimed rodrigo duterte had signed off on the murder of the pregnant wife and four—year—old child of one particular drug crime suspect. do you really believe this testimony and do you believe that adds up to something that should lead to legal action against mr duterte, now that he is president? most definitely. i believe his testimony and even the state believes him enough that they used the testimony in the senate to file cases against him. perhaps it is in the witness's interests now to blame duterte now for actions he himself took. the man is a self—confessed murderer many times over. it seems odd to me that you as an experienced politician would put so much faith in a—self acknowledged mass murderer. the testimony that pinned down lascanas down was about the murder of a journalist in the philippians. mr lascanas has

president duterte said he wanted to revive the peace process.u really wa nts for the people of mandinao, if you really wants to go after and undermined thejihadi really wants to go after and undermined the jihadi movement, there has to be movement much faster on the peace agreement. but the group that have laid the siege are being called bandits, but they are not really parts of the whole peace process ? not really parts of the whole peace process? that is true. but more young people from mandinao become attracted to groups like this if there is no alternative. these groups need to strike agreements with the government in order to do away with the disgruntlement and alienation. the people in the area have become a minority in their own territory, and they are demanding justice. whether leaders don't deliver it, these groups become attractive to young people. and briefly, where do you think this whole process will go? the philippine troops and their friends from abroad, they will be able to defeat this incidence of violence, but the problem is th
