AFP-CRS: Military Fights on 2 Fronts: Disease, Terrorism

Posted to the Armed Forces of the Philippines-Civil Relations Service (AFP-CRS) Facebook Page (Mar 29, 2020): Military Fights on 2 Fronts: Disease, Terrorism

FIGHTS ON 2 FRONTS: DISEASE, TERRORISM. As soldiers battle an unseen enemy in the fight against the new coronavirus disease (COVID-19), their comrades in Mindanao grapple with the virulence of terrorism.

A soldier was previously killed and two others were wounded in a land mine explosion in a remote village of Maluso town in Basilan. The bomb was planted to fortify a camp of the Islamic State (IS)-linked Abu Sayyaf. At about this time, military troops were already called in to help enforce health regulations as President Duterte placed the country in a state of public health emergency. Soon, local governments would also impose community quarantine measures.

[The Civil Relations Service (CRS) is the unit of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) that engages the public through its public information and community relations programs “to create a favorable atmosphere between the community and the AFP. The CRS is the equivalent of the Psychological Operations and Civil Affairs units of the US Army.]
