The
Western Mindanao Command has placed all its naval assets on alert to preempt
possible landing attempts by a criminal group who earlier attacked a resort in
Semporna, Eastern Sabah and took hostage a
Chinese tourist and a Filipino hotel staff.
Capt.
Rowena Muyuela, the command's spokesman, said that all naval units were placed
on alert to prevent this from happening.
However,
she said they still have no information on whether the suspects were Filipinos.
"We
are still to receive official reports regarding that," Muyuela stated.
She
added that they are also coordinating with the local police to intensify their
security arrangements.
Earlier,
six unidentified gunmen attacked the resort and took at gunpoint the two and
quickly fled aboard their speedboat.
