President Rodrigo Duterte has revealed that the government is tracing the source of the terror funds and weapons acquired by the Maute group to stage a rebellion in Marawi.

He said they have traced some bank transactions between the groups and foreign donors.
But the President still wondered why the Maute rebels still have many weapons to sustain the fighting in Marawi.
“Let me ask you a question, we are in the third month, how come the Maute brothers and the terrorists were able to stockpile so much ordnance and bullets and ammunition and IEDs? Saan nila kinuha yun?” he asked.
“But we now have a good picture of what happened in Marawi,” he added.
The President earlier said the conflict in Marawi is almost over but ruled out any victory celebration. He said there was no need to celebrate the end of the fighting out of respect for the many people who were killed.
