VICE President Sara Duterte urged parents to force their children to go to school, adding that providing quality education, together with a nurturing family will prevent young Filipinos from being radicalized into terrorists.

'We can no longer count the lives lost to bombings in and around Mindanao, the damage to public and private properties, the fear and the business opportunities lost due to these terror attacks,' Duterte said in her speech in Koronadal City on Tuesday during its 83rd founding anniversary that coincided with the 23rd Hinugyaw Festival.
