From DWDD AFP Civil Relations Service Radio Website (Sep 20): BLACK PROPAGANDA | AFP clarifies video of 7 ASG killed in encounter
CAMP GEN NAVARRO, Zamboanga City (DWDD) – The Armed forces of the Philippines (AFP) has branded as “black propaganda” the video being circulated in social media showing the remains of seven (7) members of the Abu Sayyaf allegedly civilians “massacred” in Patikul, Sulu.
In an interview by DWDD with LTC Gerry Besana, spokesperson, AFP WESMINCOM, the seven cadavers belong to members of the IS-inspired Abu Sayyaf killed in an encounter with Army Scout Rangers in Barangay Bakong, Patikul, Sulu last Friday, September 14, 2018.
LTC Besana added that the video was taken after the military turned-over the remains of the ASG members to barangay officials so it can be claimed by their relatives. But some critics of the AFP took the opportunity to use the incident to tarnish the image of our soldiers.
The AFP assured the public that what transpired was a legitimate operation by the Scout Rangers against an estimated 100 ASG terrorist. In the same battle, scores of Rangers were wounded in the firefight and are currently undergoing medical treatment for their wounds.
Besana added that the area is a known lair of the terrorist group. AES / LQG / MCAG
