MAWAB, Compostela Valley – President Duterte is considering the revival of the Philippine Constabulary to help in the fight against terrorism.

Mr. Duterte made the announcement during his visit to the headquarters of the Army’s 10th Infantry Division in Mawab, Compostela Valley on Tuesday afternoon.

He said the reactivation of the PC would strengthen the government’s fight against terrorism.

Mr. Duterte said the Constabulary, which had been abolished by President Corazon Aquino due to alleged abuses during the Marcos regime, could be effective in dealing with urban terrorism.
