“Makabayan, Bayan, they are all legal fronts, Gabriela. We are not red-tagging you. We are identifying you as members in a grand conspiracy comprising all the legal fronts that you have organized headed by NDF (National Democratic Front),” the President said.
“The Armed Forces of the Philippines is very correct. You are being identified as members of the communist,” he added.
Duterte said the communists engaged in “sheer brutality,” insisting that they were no longer fighting for an ideology.
He said the communists simply wanted to overthrow the government so that they could take over.
“Gusto lang nila umagaw ng gobyerno. Mga bobo naman ang p***** i** (All they want is to overthrow the government. But they are stupid sons of a b****),” he added.
