Philippine Marines 1

Report by war correspondent Ed Lingao while embedded with the 5th Marine Battallion, Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol.

No armed unit was authorized to enter this area and so when armed men were spotted, they were suspected to be members of the Abu Sayaff. They tried to surround the suspects but were spotted in the process and so a firefight ensued.

One suspect was killed, 2 more escaped. They were later found in a hospital and claimed they are members of the Civilian Armed Forces Geographical Unit (CAFGU) which are civilian volunteers fighting for the government.

@bagobo666 this war can be easily ended, the problem is they want this war to go on. on & off ceasefire is just bullshit. they should destroy these rebels so the people & the country can move on. it could be done in a year at most, if they want to.

PHILIPPINE LAW MAKERS - Amend the NATIONAL DEFENSE ACT 1935. Abolish the 3 years term of Enlistment which was designed before the World War 2. Today about 90% of of the Rank and file soldiers of the AFP are college graduate, they need a term until their retirement age. They need to be appointed just like other government workers.

TO THE PHILIPPINE LAW MAKERS - Pass a law that would protect the dignity of the rank and file of the AFP. The AFP Enlisted can be dismissed from the service unjustly through the recommendation of their Commanding Officer only. The PNP has their NAPOLCOM, the Government Employee has their Civil Service Commision. What about the AFP Enlisted There is no law that protect them
