President Duterte honors the 45 men who were killed in action in Marawi

MARAWI CITY, Philippines – The deputy chief of the Marawi City Police, Police Inspector Edwin Placido, was among the first to sacrifice his life to defend the city from local terrorists.

At least 45 members of security forces were honored, based on a list released by the Presidential Communications Operations Office Friday, June 9.
