14 “MNLF members” nabbed in Manila

From the Philippine News Agency (May 14): 14 “MNLF members” nabbed in Manila (Update)

There was a commotion at the R. Almario Elementary School in Tondo, Manila after the voters scampered for safety due to the presence of alleged armed men Monday afternoon.

Fourteen members of the Moro National Liberation Front were arrested by the Manila Police District contingent in the area.

Seized from the 14 suspects were four cal. 45 handguns.

However, the MPD clarified that there was no shooting incident, but rather, the suspects did not resist arrest.

Four of the 14 suspects told the police their handguns are only meant for their own personal safety because they are members of the MNLF.

The suspects added that they only went inside the school premises to fetch their colleagues as they are about to travel back to Mindanao.
