PA probing six foreign tourists involved in distorting Lumad issue

From the Philippine News Agency (Nov 4): PA probing six foreign tourists involved in distorting Lumad issue

The Philippine Army (PA) is looking into reports that leftist organizations are distorting the issue on the Lumad group in Mindanao, Army spokesperson Col. Benjamin Hao said.

Hao also said that the Army was also investigating claims that six foreign tourists, posing as members of a bogus fact-finding committee, were in the country.

"The Army is giving a special attention on the existence of the fake international fact-finding mission composed of six foreign tourists," Hao said.

"If they are found violating our immigration laws, they will be deported and be banned forever in entering our country. The Army is also looking into the legal liability of their cohorts," he added.

Hao said the group had no mandate nor the authority from the government or from any international organizations to interfere in the country's internal affairs.
