In a statement on Tuesday, Celiz said there is nothing wrong with the police conducting community ....

President Rodrigo Duterte(Presidential Photo) MANILA - President Rodrigo Duterte has encouraged the country's next leader to make an initiative to amend the 1987 Constitution as soon as he assumes the presidency on June 30. He made the call as he reiterated the need to make changes in the country's charter, be it a shift into a federal form of government or not.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the 1987 Constitution entrusts the state the maintenance of peace and order, the protection of life, liberty and property, and the promotion of the general welfare, an election period neither suspends the operation of a legitimate arm of government like the National Task Force-ELCAC, nor the government function in carrying out the whole-of-nation-approach and whole-of-government approach in ....
