Duterte breaks bread with militants after delivering SONA


President Rodrigo Duterte on Monday had merienda with militant leaders after he delivered his first State of the Nation Address at the House of Representatives.

Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (Bayan) secretary general Renato Reyes Jr. shared photos of the meet up on his Facebook account.

"Nakatambay kami sa may truck habang naglilipit ng gamit. Biglang sinama kami ng pulis. Di namin alam san pupunta. Kaya sinama ko si Beng. Hayun, dito pala kami dadalhin," he said in the caption.

Reyes and the protesters were allowed to stage a rally on Batasan Road, just a few hundreds of meters away from the House complex.

It was a historic rally, as protesters were only allowed to hold demonstrations on Commonwealth Avenue during previous SONAs under previous presidents.
