The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and the Philippine
National Police (PNP) vehemently condemned the masterminds behind the bombing
in Davao City and beheading incident in Jolo even
as its forces are now pursuing perpetrators behind the atrocities.
This was disclosed by AFP spokesman Col. Restituto Padilla
in a press briefing Wednesday.
"This is about the Mindanao incidents that have lately
happened in Jolo and Davao .
The AFP and the PNP headquarters have indeed received news about the inhuman,
barbaric and brutal incident in the island
of Jolo and the bombing incident in
the city of Davao ,"
he added.
The bombing took place at Ecoland, Davao City .
Two persons were reported wounded when a blast ripped a van 9:25 a.m.
Wednesday.
While the beheading of a Malaysian national, reportedly
kidnapped by the Abu Sayyaf Group took place in Jolo 4 p.m. Tuesday.
Padilla said both the military and police now have
commanders on the ground who are attending to the incidents.
"We will await their full report. We likewise appeal to
our media partners to check with our commanders on the ground for the latest
development and link up with their public affairs teams," he stressed.
Despite these incidents, the APEC security task force is
fully focused on doing its mandate in regard to the Philippines ' hosting of the event.
"Our designated commanders in the ground have been
tasked to take care all of these local issues. They are fully capable of
addressing such and we trust in their judgements," Padilla pointed out.

the ongoing APEC meetings.
