An Army officer who posted on his Facebook account declaring
that 7,000 soldiers sent to reinforce government troops to crush once and for
all the Abu Sayyaf terrorists in Sulu, went viral in the social media with over
100,000 hits and counting.
Maj. Arthur Malaleguez Dumalagan of the 63rd Infantry
Battalion of the Philippine Army, said in his Facebook account “Jolo, Sulu here
we come.”
He said he was ready to fight the Abu Sayyaf, saying “this
is our chance, many are willing but few are chosen to participate (in) the war
against terrorism. Many have already done their part but never have a proud
story to tell.”
Dumalagan said he was not afraid to die in fighting the
enemy of the state, particularly terror groups.
He said he was surprised that more than 100,000 have read
his story he posted in his Facebook account to date.More are expected to read
it in the coming days.
“We maybe coming home flag on top of our metal casket, rest
assured we already crushed the enemy and send them all to hell before we give
ours,” the tough-talking army officer said.
“Blood may pour on the war thirsty yet a promised land that
is what we pledge to do to let our beloved flag fly freely for you,” he added.
Dumalagan further said: “God will never say yes or no,
Prayer is He wants from you that His soldiers will be as good and safe us you,
watching the show that the world will always do, soldiers in thirst for PEACE
so they may live a life they always made for you.”
Maj. Dumalagan is the executive officer of his unit dubbed
as the “Innovator Battalion.”
On the other hand, Brig. Gen. Restituto Padilla Jr.,
spokesman of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), confirmed during the
weekly forum “Balitaan sa Hotel Rembrant in Quezon City
Padilla said soldiers will be deployed to hunt down some 400
to 500 Abu Sayyaf hiding in the forested areas in the town of Patikul
He said this is the biggest deployment of the AFP in Sulu
since heavy fighting took place during the bloody Mindanao
war against the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) in the ‘70s and ‘80s.
