Syrian national advice to All Filipinos: 'Stand by your president, he will make your country safe and strong'

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte declared Martial Law on the island of Mindanao for 60 days due to the on-going clash of the Maute Group in Marawi city which started last Tuesday, May 23.

This prompted individuals both national and foreign to take sides on Duterte’s actions. This also led Syrian national Ayman Jahjah to give a message to the Filipinos.

“As a Syrian citizen who has lost many people and things in my home country, my advice to all people from the Philippines: Stand by your president. He is your best choice to make your country safe and strong,” the Syrian national said.

In another Facebook post of Jahjah, he said that he admire Duterte's style of counter-terrorism and his efforts against crimes and drug dealers. "This is the only way to stop all this ISIS circus," he said.
