Philippine Troops Kill 14 Communist Rebels in Clash South of Manila
2017-11-30
[OANN] The Philippine military killed 14 Communist rebels in a clash south of Manila.

This comes just days after Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte pulled-out of peace talks with the Maoist Lion of Islams.

Military officials say the conflict with gunnies happened Tuesday night 43 miles south of Manila ‐ the capital city ‐ and lasted for roughly 20 minutes.

Officials also say five soldiers were maimed in the clash.

Duterte claims he ended talks in response to the rebels demanding their inclusion in a coalition government.

"I cannot give you what I do not own, and certainly a coalition government with the Republic of the Philippines is pure nonsense," said the Philippine president.

The Philippine president has said he will treat these communist rebels as hard boyz and criminals.
