From MindaNews (Sep 4): Maute gunmen using unexploded bombs from planes in fight vs gov’t troops
As government troops tightened the grip around ISIS-inspired gunmen in Marawi City, the terrorists are fighting back with all they have, including unexploded ordnance dropped from warplanes.
Armed Forces Western Mindanao Command (WestMinCom) Chief Lt. General Carlito Galvez said fighting has been intense during the past two days along Quezon Avenue that runs along the Banggolo business district.
Galvez said the terrorists have been using everything they have from Molotov cocktails to improvised explosive devices (IEDs) fashioned from plastic water bottles.
He estimated around 45 ISIS-Maute gunmen are still fighting it out in a small pocket in the city.
“Only 300 structures remain to be cleared from 600 previously but our troops are finding more IEDs in the buildings,” Galvez said of the slow progress of the government troops.
Three soldiers died while 52 others were injured when they took back control of Bayabao Bridge in Banggolo last week.
Capt. Joane Petinglay, spokesperson of AFP Joint Task Force Marawi, said most of those injured were inflicted by IEDs.
A military officer who is familiar with the fighting said the terrorists got hold of explosives by salvaging unexploded ordnance and bombs dropped by the Philippine Air Force warplanes.
“They cut up the shells and bombs to get to the gunpowder and put them in small plastic bottles. They really know the stuff,” he said.
Galvez said the ISIS gunmen inside Marawi were able to get reinforcements despite the presence of gunboats watching Lake Lanao, the country’s second biggest lake.
He said reinforcements of one or two persons hide behind water lilies or water hyacinths to camouflage themselves and taking advantage of bad weather at night.
“We believe one or two gunmen were able to reinforce those in the main battle area using these tactics,” Galvez said.
Last week, government troops repulsed a small group of terrorists out to attack the nearby town of Marantao and spoil the opening of classes at the Mindanao State University.
Government troops also killed 10 gunmen trying to sneak into Marawi City in small boats.

Free college discourages youth to join armed struggle
From the Philippine News Agency (Sep 2): Free college discourages youth to join armed struggle
A local official here said a locally-funded learning institution recognized by the Commission on Higher Education (Ched) can be an antidote to teenagers against joining armed struggle to fight the government.
Mayor Rudy Caoagdan of Makilala, North Cotabato, said the institution, the first locally-funded free college, will help discourage its students from joining the communist movement.
Ched 12 Director Maximo C. Aljibe said Ched, in an en banc session in July, passed a resolution recognizing and approving all the curriculum of Makilala Institute of Science and Technology (MIST).
On August 28, Caoagdan and Aljibe installed Dr. Gerard Rigonan as the first MIST president.
Makilala, one of the 17 towns of North Cotabato, has been listed as among the hotspots and breeding areas of communist insurgents.
"To discourage the youth from joining rebel movement, you must educate them and give them the information they need to be empowered," Caoagdan said during the investiture program.
To date, MIST has at least 1,400 enrollees and its maintenance and operating expenses are funded by the local government of Makilala. The local government provided an annual budget of P10-million for MIST.
The Ched regional director lauded the local government, headed by Caoagdan, for pushing for the establishment of first free college educational institution five years ago.
Caoagdan said a local ordinance has been passed to ensure continuity of the tertiary school and can not be disrupted by change in local government leadership.
He stressed that when he started the idea of coming up with an LGU-funded college, his political rivals criticized him.
The mayor said when he is out of office, the new official cannot order the school’s closure because a local law exists.
According to Caoagdan, about 80 percent of high school graduates in Makilala stopped schooling after graduation due to poverty. With the availability of free college education, many are expected to become professionals and become productive citizens of Makilala.
“Where will our children go after high school,” he asked. “Abroad as domestic workers? Construction workers or jobless or worst they may end up joining the New Peoples Army.”

Duterte to meet with Malaysia, Indonesia leaders for anti-terror pact
From the Philippine News Agency (Sep 4): Duterte to meet with Malaysia, Indonesia leaders for anti-terror pact
President Rodrigo Duterte will meet with the leaders of Malaysia and Indonesia to formalize the details of an anti-terrorism deal.
In a media interview past midnight Sunday, the President also voiced concern over reports of increasing ISIS recruitment in Muslim cities.
“The ISIS is being cornered into the coastal towns of Syria. Natutulak na sila sa Syria. Once they lose mass base, wala na silang mapuntahan. Papatayin talaga sila. Alam mo na ang Arabo, they execute. Sisibat na ‘yan. And then because they have access in some countries, bigla na lang sisipot kagaya nung sa Marawi (They are being pushed (out) of Syria. Once they lose mass base, they can’t go anywhere. They will really be killed. You know the Arabs, they execute. They will escape. And then…because they have access in some countries, they will just come just like in Marawi),” Duterte said on the sidelines of the birthday celebration of Davao City Rep. Karlo Nograles.
Duterte said he, Indonesian President Joko Widodo and Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak already agreed to meet either in an area near the Philippines like Sabah and Jakarta.
“We have agreed that we will talk, the three of us. So naghintay lang kami ng timing (We are just waiting for the right timing),” he said in an interview with reporters.
In all probability, Duterte said the deal could be a joint undertaking like a task force to run after ISIS members.
“I will open my borders to the Malaysian authorities and Indonesian authorities, and I am --- they’ll be given access,” he said.
“Kung may hinahabol kami, tapos sabihin, malakas ‘yan, wala nang panahon, tirahin mo na lang siya. Even if it’s a Filipino, sabihin mo doon sa [inaudible], “Tirahin mo na.” or Indonesian dito (If we are running after (terrorists), then they say these are strong and we lack the time, just hit on them. Even if it’s Filipino…or Indonesian here (in the Philippines),” he stressed.
The President said the meeting is already being worked out and it only needs to be formalized.
“We have to meet face to face and agree on an agenda for the talks,” he added.
“I can only maybe… be there for about a day or two. At this time, I cannot. I do not have the luxury of time because I have a serious problem here,” he added.
Duterte said he has to visit Marawi more often until the crisis is over.
Meanwhile, Duterte said he is also looking at the situation in other parts of Mindanao like in Buldon, Maguindanao where there are skirmishes everyday.
“I don't know how this thing developed but anyway I have that by the end of the year to contain all of these things,” he said.
During the Eastern Mindanao Command's 11th anniversary in Davao City on Friday, Duterte said he was thinking of lifting the Martial Law.
“But the way it looks, parang may spillover na sa ARMM. Sa Buldon (it looks like there’s a spillover in the ARMM. In Buldon), he said referring to Buldon town in Maguindanao.
“Let us see. If it is to the interest of the country that I will lift it, I will lift it. But if not, then we’ll just have to continue with the martial law,” he added.
Duterte, however, assured he would be pursuing the peace process with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and even with the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF).
“If we cannot reconfigure a political structure to suit everybody's needs and fulfill their demands because it is really valid, Mindanao will be at war for all times,” he added.

Former NPA members reap seeds of peace
From the Philippine News Agency (Sep 4): Former NPA members reap seeds of peace
Former rebels in Davao Oriental are literally reaping what they sow in the name of peace.
This was announced on Saturday by provincial information officer Karen Lou Deloso, who said 17 former members of the New People's Army (NPA) harvested corn and other vegetable products which they planted last May.
Among the returnees, five are minors aged 16 to 17, and two are pregnant females aged 26 and 30.
These ex-rebels were sheltered at the Happy Home, a processing center and a civilian facility for former rebels who have expressed their desire to return to the fold of the law in Mati City.
The farm right across the Happy Home is owned by the provincial government and is near the 701st Brigade military camp. The facility will soon produce more vegetables.
Chief Master Sgt. Fernando Queza, one of supervisors of the farming activity in the facility, reported the former rebels harvested eggplants, corn, ampalaya, cucumber and okra.
Queza said that aside from planting, the beneficiaries are also tending livestock, a piggery with twenty piglets, and poultry of native chickens.
The livestocks, including the vegetable seedlings, and organic fertilizers, were provided for free by the provincial government’s agricultural office.
Each of the returnees own the livestock and vegetables sold at the local market.
In 2013, then governor and now First District Rep. Corazon Malanyaon established the facility for the former rebels to install the pillars of shared peace and prosperity in the province.
Since its launch, the facility has been helping rebels in transition to civilian life. It is staffed by a composite group providing psychosocial, spiritual and other services.
Governor Nelson Dayanghirang continues to provide former rebels with livelihood and employment opportunities, scholarships for their children, health services and others for them to join in the mainstream society.
In a statement, Dayanghirang cited a big turnout of insurgents who decided to take the road to peace by pursuing political and social change without the use of arms.
The governor said he believes that the armed conflict can be resolved by building mutual trust and understanding.
He pointed out several positive strides that have been made in the name of peace, envisioning the Happy Home to be the beginning of sincere dialogue towards resolving the armed conflict without resorting to the use of arms.

Salamat is next NOLCOM chief
From the Philippine News Agency (Sep 3): Salamat is next NOLCOM chief
Philippine Marine Commandant (PMC), Major Gen. Emmanuel B. Salamat will assume Monday the helm of the Northern Luzon Command (NOLCOM).
The turnover ceremony will take place at NOLCOM headquarters at Camp Aquino, Tarlac City.
Salamat, a member of Philippine Military Academy Class 1985, will be replacing Lt. Gen. Romeo Tanalgo, of PMA Class 1985, who will be retiring on Sept. 5.
"Major Gen Emmanuel B. Salamat is one of the finest among contemporary generals (of the ) PMC. He epitomizes the amalgam of a Marine warrior and a compassionate leader," AFP public affairs office chief, Col. Edgard Arevalo said Sunday.
He is cut-and-dried for the PMC and higher and more significant posts like NOLCOM, he said, adding that Salamat has undergone the different echelons of command and leadership in the AFP.
"From command of a Marine Platoon shortly after graduating from the Philippine Military Academy “Sandiwa” Class of 1985, he rose to Company, Battalion, and Brigade Commands. He reached the pinnacle of his career in the PMC when he was installed as the Commandant of the Corps -- a position most coveted by every Marine Officer," Arevalo added.
Aside from this, Salamat is a fellow of Centre for Defense and Strategic Studies of the Australian Defense College which equips its students with the competency to operate at the strategic level.
The incoming NOLCOM commander also has a Masters Degree from Deakin University in Geelong, Australia.
"As such, he is expected to make immense contributions in tackling issues that beset his Area of Responsibility in Northern Luzon that spans Bajo De Masinloc in the West, to the Balintang Channel in the North, to Philippine Rise in the East," Arevalo added.

Army foils NPA attack plot in Cotabato
From the Philippine News Agency (Sep 2): Army foils NPA attack plot in Cotabato
The Army here said Saturday it foiled a plot by the New Peoples Army (NPA) to launch attacks in North Cotabato with the recovery of 20 Armalite rifles and two hand grenades.
Col. Harold Argamosa, commander of the Army's 9th Infantry Battalion, said military intelligence agents uncovered a plot by the NPA's Guerilla Front 53 to attack government forces and civilian communities.
Argamosa said the communists who ambushed President Duterte’s military escorts in Arakan, North Cotabato two months ago belonged to Guerilla Front 53 operating in the mountains around the country’s highest peak – Mt. Apo.
Col. Roberto Ancan, commander of the Army's 1002nd Infantry Brigade, lauded the 39th IB for the arrest of two NPA members, identified as Wowie Tagapia Boton, 19-year old laborer, and George Landungan Cuyo, 20, a farmer, both residents of Barangay Katipunan, Kidapawan City and the recovery of 20 high powered rifles.
Argamosa said his unit received a tip from an informant about two men suspiciously hauling firearms that were to be buried in the village.
He immediately dispatched a team of soldiers accompanied by police officers to the site where they arrested the two and recovered the firearms.
North Cotabato is celebrating its foundation anniversary with a series of activities dubbed as Kalivungan Festival.
Soldiers have been placed on heightened alert following the recovery of firearms.
Last month, the Army arrested a sub-commander of Guerilla Front 53 in nearby Makilala town who was keeping three M-16 Armalite rifles and bomb making devices.
Few weeks later, the NPAs captured Police Officer 1 Bristol Catalan in what authorities believed was retaliation for the arrest of NPA leader.

Discussion on equipment for 2 PH Navy missile frigates underway
From the Philippine News Agency (Sep 2): Discussion on equipment for 2 PH Navy missile frigates underway
Discussions are ongoing to determine what equipment and major systems are to be installed in two of the country's first-ever missile-capable frigates, Philippine Navy (PN) flag-officer-in-command Vice Admiral Ronald Joseph Mercado said.
"The frigate project is now on the planning stage. Discussions are ongoing to agree on equipment and major systems to be installed. After this, construction will start," Mercado said in a text message to the Philippine News Agency (PNA) Friday when asked for updates on the Armed Forces’ modernization program.
Asked if this stage includes selection of weapons, propulsion and sensor systems for the two frigates, Mercado replied, "This stage involves everything about the ship."
The Navy chief, however, did not give specifics on when the discussions would conclude.
Mercado headed the technical working group that came up with the specifications of the country's first-ever missile-capable frigates.
Meanwhile, Department of National Defense (DND) spokesperson Arsenio Andolong said the implementation of the country's frigate acquisition project has already begun and is proceeding as scheduled.
"Construction will commence in accordance with the timetable," he added.
On Oct. 24, 2016, Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana formally inked the contract for the frigate acquisition program, together with officials of South Korea's Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI).
The signing ceremony took place at the Navy headquarters in Naval Station Andrada, Roxas Blvd., Manila.
The project involves the construction and delivery of two missile-firing frigates to the Navy.
The Notice of Award was approved, issued and was duly conformed by HHI on Sept. 13, 2016 with the amount of USD336.91 million or PHP15.74 billion.
The project is worth PHP16 billion with another PHP2 billion allocated for the acquisition of assorted weapon systems and munitions.

Youth urged to fight misinformation, fake news
From the Philippine News Agency (Sep 2): Youth urged to fight misinformation, fake news
Philippine Information Agency (PIA) Director General Harold Clavite on Saturday underscored the role of the youth in combatting the rise of fake news and misinformation.
During a forum entitled "TAYO Talks: The Youth Project" held at Landbank Plaza in Manila, Clavite encouraged the youth to be more discerning and responsible in the use of social media, which is a common platform used to exacerbate the spread of fake news and hoaxes.
The PIA chief also assured the public that his agency will double its efforts in protecting the community from the vicious cycle of misinformation.
"In a world of confusion, especially in the Internet and social media, we need to step up as an organization to make sure our people are not misled by false information, fake news," Clavite said.
"It's an important time for all of us to wake up together and talk about these matters head-on. We should not allow our gadgets and social media to take over lives and our communities... Maging responsible sa social media," he said.
For her part, National Youth Commission (NYC) chair Aiza Seguerra urged the youth to focus on "being kind" rather than “being right all the time” including in social media.
"There's so much division now, alam nating lahat yan. Pero naniniwala ako and I hope kayo yun, ang mga kabataan natin... I hope that more than focusing on being right all the time, we focus on being kind to one another and inspire one another," Seguerra said.
The TAYO Talks: Metro Manila with the theme "THE YOUTH PROJECT: Seek. Inspire. Empower." featured a youth forum highlighting five selected TAYO alumni stories to inspire the young Filipinos in Metro Manila.
The event is aimed at sharing best practices of the youth, building a network of active school-based and community-based youth organizations of Metro Manila, and providing opportunities for mentorship and collaboration.

"It's an important time for all of us to wake up together and talk about these matters head-on. We should not allow our gadgets and social media to take over lives and our communities... Maging responsible sa social media," he said.
For her part, National Youth Commission (NYC) chair Aiza Seguerra urged the youth to focus on "being kind" rather than “being right all the time” including in social media.
"There's so much division now, alam nating lahat yan. Pero naniniwala ako and I hope kayo yun, ang mga kabataan natin... I hope that more than focusing on being right all the time, we focus on being kind to one another and inspire one another," Seguerra said.
The TAYO Talks: Metro Manila with the theme "THE YOUTH PROJECT: Seek. Inspire. Empower." featured a youth forum highlighting five selected TAYO alumni stories to inspire the young Filipinos in Metro Manila.
The event is aimed at sharing best practices of the youth, building a network of active school-based and community-based youth organizations of Metro Manila, and providing opportunities for mentorship and collaboration.

5 NPA rebels surrender to the Army in Sultan Kudarat
Posted to the 33rd Infantry Makabayan Battalion Facebook page (Sep 1): 5 NPA rebels surrender to the Army in Sultan Kudarat
Five members of the New People's Army laid down their arms and surrendered to the Philippine Army in Midtungok village, Sen. Ninoy Aquino town at about 4pm yesterday.
Lt Col Harold M Cabunoc, the Commanding Officer of the 33rd Infantry (Makabayan) Battalion, said that the rebels belonged to the Platoon My...phone of Guerilla Front 73 under Ka Macmac.
Among the surrenderees are misuari digan, 18, ome digan, 48, adot digan 30, siale digan,16, and eson digan,25. One of the surrenderees is a child warrior Siale, 16, who was recruited in 2015.
"The surrenderees turned over three firearms including a Cal .30 M1 Garand, Cal 30 M2 Carbine, and a 40mm M79 Grenade Launcher," said Cabunoc.
Misuari Digan said that he was recruited by Ka Macmac in Tupi Bato village in 2014.
"They promised me to retake our ancestral lands from outsiders so I joined to fight for my tribe," said Misuari who converted to Islam after marrying a Muslim girl in Palimbang town. Misuari is among the trainees who finished a course in a rebel training camp that was seized by the 33rd Infantry Battalion on August 21, 2017.
Eson Digan was a leader of the NPA's communal farm in the upland village of Sitio Tupi Bato, Midtungok village.
"Ka Macmac promised me to erect a school for our tribe but it did not happen. They kept on asking food from us who worked in the farm. We ended up being wanted criminals because of our being NPA members," said Eson who has a 3 yr old child.
The surrenderees will be presented to the local government of Sultan Kudarat in order to receive the benefits given to former rebels. In May, 11 NPA rebels also laid down their arms and surrendered to the 33rd Infantry Battalion.
