As the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and Philippine National Police (PNP) continue to track down members of Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF), Malacanang assured Thursday that rules of engagement will be followed.
A splinter group of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), BIFF earlier wreaked havoc in Maguindanao following the signing of a peace annex between the MILF and the government.
The annex is seen to pave the way for a comprehensive peace agreement, which in turn is expected to lead to the establishment of a Bangsamoro political entity.
Presidential Communications Operations Office Secretary Herminio Coloma Jr., in a Palace briefing, said that the objective was to keep the BIFF from intruding and nothing more.
He added that both the military and the police will do their best to make sure that they do not act indiscriminately against BIFF members. .
“We have to understand that the top concern of the AFP and PNP is to ensure the safety of our people," Coloma said in Filipino.
“We can be sure all the movements of our law enforcement agencies follow those principles," he stresed.
