Duterte knows MRRD-NECC but he isn’t in favor of revolutionary gov’t — Palace
President Rodrigo Duterte has denied supporting a revolutionary government, stating he does not know the group pushing for it.
However, Malacañang clarified that Duterte is aware of the Mayor Rodrigo Roa Duterte-National Executive Coordinating Committee (MRRD-NECC), a volunteer organization instrumental in his 2016 campaign.
Duterte attended an MRRD-NECC event in March 2018.
Some key members of the MRRD-NECC, including Agrarian Reform Secretary John Castriciones, have been appointed to government positions by Duterte.
Despite the group's association with him, Duterte's spokesperson Harry Roque stated that the President is not in favor of a revolutionary government as he upholds constitutional governance.
