No, I do not agree with President Duterte's order to shoot-to-kill armed NPA rebels since such is not in accordance with law, both national and internatio­nal. A better alternativ­e would be an order to "kill when necessary" rather than "shootto-kill" when there is no actual and impending threat. When possible, capture should be preferred over the taking of life.

I don't necessaril­y agree with PDut's shoot-to-kill order against NPA. Yes, these rebels may be a serious threat against our safety and security as a nation, but due process should be respected as any civilized nation should. My problem with this order is that it may result to abuse power as what happened in the past and cause more harm than good. Arrest, prosecute, and charge.

I agree to President Duterte's shoot-to-kill order against armed NPA rebels because it has been a long time that NPA exist and I think still they are gaining more recruits, persons who recruited are lazy, they want to get things done easy but life is not like that, people must strive to live and even our government is corrupted or not we must do our will to live in the right and good way.
