The Armed Forces of the Philippines Central Command (Centcom) based in Camp Lapu-Lapu, Barangay Lahug, Cebu City, is on alert following the Monday predawn clash between government troops and Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) members in Zamboanga City.
The clash killed at least six people and wounded 24 others so far.
Lt. Jim Alagao, Centcom spokesman, said they are intensifying their intelligence-gathering to prevent the same attack from happening in the Visayas.
He said they are monitoring coastal barangays in Cebu,
Alagao said Centcom Commander Roy Deveraturda hasn’t raised the alert level yet, but the military units are ready.
“We are also willing to send troops if there’s a request for it,” he said.
Centcom has operational control of all military units in the Army, Navy and Air Force in the Visayas.
Alagao also urged the public to report suspicious individuals in their neighborhood to authorities.
But he said they haven’t received intelligence information that MNLF will attack
