Brig. Gen. Carlito Galvez,head of the Coordinating Committee
on the Cessation of Hostilities (CCCH), on Saturday said that they have
received reports that some foreign nationals are helping the Bangsamoro Islamic
Freedom Fighters (BIFF).
Galvez bared this during the sidelights of the Philippine
Military Academy homecoming activities on Saturday here. Galvez is a graduate
of the PMA Class of 1985.
While they still have to confirm this, the CCCH chief said
that they have been receiving information that some foreign nationals are
actively helping the BIFF by training its members in military tactics,
particularly in the construction of improvised bombs.
He said foreign nationals allegedly helping the BIFF are
Indonesians, Malaysians and Singaporeans.
The CCCH head made this statement when asked if there is
truth to reports that an Indonesian jihadist was among those killed during the
bloody Mamasapano, Maguindanao encounter last Jan. 25.
Killed in the incident were 44 Special Action Force members,
18 Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) members and five BIFF members,
including the Indonesian jidahist.
