#1 Cause giving land to old fighters worked well in Zimbabwe.


Duterte also reiterated the need to address the fighting in Mindanao stemming from the historical injustices committed by American and Spanish colonizers against the Moro people.

He must be referring to the suppression of the long history of piracy and slaving of the Moro people.

#2 Philippine president Duterte is willing to grant concessions, including awarding of public lands, to communist insurgents and Muslim rebels

He's been studying urban America. Who knew ?

#3 Efforts by Philippine military to clear Basilan and Tawi-Tawi of Muslim rebels must not be going well.

#5 Sure, give each of the insurgents rebels terrorists a piece of their own personal land.

6' long, 3' wide, 6' deep. Specify the pieces can be joined together when they're used . . . .

#6 It looks like Duterte is making deals with the others in order to focus on (and presumably try to wipe out) the Abu Sayyaf. Whatever else may happen, I hope he can get that much done.

#7 Tough on druggies but all mushy soft on commies and muzzies.

#8 Gotta start somewhere, and if realigning with Russia/China, could be commies are off the top of the list.

And I bet with druggies, there is some intersection with the commies/muzz.

Duterte has impressed me (don't necessarily agree and I am not there so I have no opinion as if this is the best option), so I'm taking a wait and see.
