The Armed Forces of the Philippines and the
Philippine National Police are ready to thwart any possible reprisal by the supporters
of Abu Marwan after he was killed by a SAF operation in Mamasapano, Maguindanao
more than two weeks ago.
"Patuloy ang mahigpit na pagmamanman at pagbabantay ng ating mga security authorities sa anumang banta sa seguridad ng buong bansa," Presidential Communications Operations Office Secretary Herminio Coloma Jr. said.
"Nananatiling nakaalerto ang buong Sandatahang Lakas at ang Pambansang Pulisya upang mapangalagaan ang katahimikan at kaligtasan ng ating mamamayan," he said.
Aside from the military and the police, the National Bureau of Investigation and other branches of the government's security authorities remain on high alert, he added.
Lawmakers, he said, are doing what they think is necessary--investigate to shed light on what happened in Maguindanao because the incident has a connection to the BBL being deliberated in Congress prior to the deadly encounter.
Congress has suspended its discussions on the BBL to find out what exactly happened in Mamasapano that killed 44 PNP-SAF commandos.
"Kaya dapat lang po sigurong bigyan natin ng pagkakataon na masagot lahat ng mga katanungang ito para magbigyang linaw ang mahahalagang usapin na pumapaloob sa Bangsamoro Basic Law," he said.
Aside from Marwan, the SAF operation also targeted Basit Usman, a local bomb maker. Local officials of Maguindanao said Usman is injured and hiding in the province. (PCOO News Release)
