Send the soldiers

Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte asked President Aquino today to replace with soldiers all airport personnel and workers in the face of the “tanim-bala” incidents at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport.

"I'd like to call the attention of the President as I did the other day that he must do something about it," Duterte said, according to ABS-CBN.

"The President should order the relief of all officials and employees connected to CAAP [Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines] (and the) aviation command, including sa mga porter services (at) mga driver," Duterte added.

The mayor said his anger over the issue is beyond words, adding that he is willing to send the Davao City police to man the airports if need be.

Duterte expressed belief there’s a conspiracy to plant the bullets on the baggage or bags of plane passengers.

"There has to be a conspiracy (among the) porters and the drivers and the police," Duterte explained.
