00:00 Good morning.
00:01 On the occasion of the explosion in Mindanao State University in Marawi City, we will talk
00:05 this morning with Police Brigadier General Alan Noblesa, Regional Director of the Police
00:09 Regional Office, Bangsamoro Autonomous Region.
00:12 Good morning General.
00:15 Good morning to you sir and good morning to our listeners.
00:19 First of all, how is the overall situation, not just in Marawi but in our nearby provinces?
00:26 Sir, as of now, there is no chaos happening right now.
00:33 In fact, we put all the Bangsamoro region in full alert status considering what happened
00:40 in Marawi yesterday.
00:43 It means that we put more policemen on the ground, we intensified our checkpoints and
00:51 police visibility is in place.
00:55 General Noblesa, a terrorist group, Islamic State, promised to bomb MSU.
01:01 Is this confirmed?
01:04 Sir, we have a person of interest and one of our person of interest pointed on local
01:17 terrorists.
01:18 Ah, local terrorists.
01:22 Can you tell us sir...
01:23 That's one of the angles that we are looking into.
01:25 We have a person of interest but investigation is still ongoing.
01:31 In order to prevent the investigation, we will not divulge the name.
01:36 But whatever you can tell us sir, how did the connection with the local terrorists occur
01:42 and how did they enter MSU?
01:47 And that is still subject of investigation.
01:50 As you know, our investigators already conducted a post-blast investigation and we created
01:57 an SITG or special investigation task group to focus and conduct investigation on the
02:04 matter and to expedite the investigation.
02:07 We are looking into many angles here.
02:11 As of now, how many suspects do we have and do we have a lead?
02:15 We have a person of interest right now.
02:17 How many sir?
02:18 We already... maybe more than two.
02:26 More than two.
02:27 At least two.
02:28 At least two.
02:29 General Noblesa sir, did we get intel that there's a threat that there will be a bombing
02:39 before this happened?
02:40 As you know, our intelligence community is receiving regular reports, not only in Marawi
02:48 City but in some parts of Bagsamole region.
02:52 That's why we intensified our target hardening efforts to prevent this from happening.
03:00 We know that MSU is a state-run university and they have their own peacekeeping security
03:10 force that in charge of the security inside the campus.
03:16 May we have an update on the number of victims here?
03:20 As of yesterday, there were four dead and I think 50 injured.
03:23 Is that correct?
03:24 Or maybe you have updated numbers?
03:27 The number of fatalities, we confirmed that four died here and 45 were wounded.
03:36 And out of these 45 wounded, 35 were already released by the hospital because they only
03:42 sustained minor injuries while 10 are still under medication at the Amoy Pagpak Hospital.
03:49 Are the injuries of the others critical?
03:53 There are five.
03:54 There are five critically injured and the others are minor injuries.
03:59 Okay. May we have an update on the threat of another explosion in Marawi City or other parts of the country?
04:10 What are we doing to prevent such threat?
04:14 Yes.
04:15 Since yesterday, we put all the Bangsamoro region under full alert status to ensure that
04:28 this will not happen again.
04:32 We asked our police to conduct visibility and intensified checkpoint operations.
04:43 Police Brigadier General Alan Noblesa sir, thank you for your time.
04:48 Thank you very much. Good morning to all of us.
