AFP warns public not to dignify hate video calling for attacks

From the Philippine News Agency (Jun 22): AFP warns public not to dignify hate video calling for attacks

The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) refused to comment on a viral video reportedly released by an "radicalist, extremism group" calling for massive attacks against people standing against their beliefs as it urged the public not to be swayed by such gesture.

"Do not glorify and dignify (statements and videos made by) these groups," AFP spokesperson Brig. Gen. Restituto Padilla said.

In the same vein, Padilla urged the public to refrain from spreading the video and delete it, so as not to spread the group's message of hate, radicalism and extremism.

"The message of the video is animalistic and evil in all its entirety," he added.

In the video, an unidentified terrorist group is calling for violent attacks against Christians and Muslim backsliders who are standing against them.
