From ABS-CBN (Jan 15): Zamboanga tightens security amid alleged MNLF presence
Authorities have tightened security in Zamboanga City following reports of alleged presence of members of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF).
Authorities tightened security specifically in the mangrove areas of Barangay Talon-talon and Mampang, which the MNLF used as entry points when it laid siege to the city in 2013.
Some residents in the two villages reportedly panicked after they heard information alleging the presence of some members of the MNLF who plan to hold a peace rally today, January 15.

According to Tetuan Police Station Chief Superintendent Nonito Asdai, they also received reports that a small boat carrying armed men docked in the Mampang area.
But upon verification, police discovered that it was just a tug boat manned by some locals in the area.
Combined forces of the police and military remain in different strategic areas to secure the city.
Residents are advised to remain calm while remaining alert and vigilant.
