Protest to support President Rodrigo Duterte's first State of the Nation Address

Indigenous peoples from Mindanao island applaud as President Rodrigo Duterte announced an immediate unilateral ceasefire with the Communist Party of the Philippines, during a rally on Monday, 25 July 2016, near the House of Representatives in Quezon City, east of Manila, Philippines, where President Rodrigo Duterte delivered his first State of the Nation Address. The rally, organized by left-wing cause-oriented groups, was historic in that it was the first time in nearly two decades that protesters were able to march near the House of Representatives during the State of the Nation Address of a sitting president. In his first State of the Nation Address, President Duterte announced, among others, the immediate unilateral ceasefire between the Communist Party of the Philippines, New People's Army, National Democratic Front (CPP-NPA-NDF) and the Philippine government, as well as plans to reduce worker's income tax.
