The Philippine National Police (PNP) has attributed the
improvement of the country's ranking at the Global Terrorism Index 2015 to the
security measures it has implemented and cooperation with partner government
agencies.
"We heard about the news and (we) attribute it (to the
measure) security cooperation of all the government agencies not only from the
Armed Forces of the Philippines but on the whole-government approach," PNP
Spokesperson Chief Supt. Wilben Mayor said during the APEC Security Task Force
briefing Thursday.

because of the atrocities.
The number of terrorism-related fatalities went down by 18
percent to 240 in 2014 from 291 in 2013.
