NewsTranscript
00:00 Members of the Daula Islamiyah Maute Group watched the suspects of the bombing at Mindanao State University in Marawi City.
00:08 For updates on the investigation and other issues, we will now listen to the spokesperson of Armed Forces of the Philippines, Colonel Medel Aguilar.
00:16 Good morning Colonel Aguilar.
00:18 Good morning also sir Arnold. Good morning to all our viewers.
00:24 President Migzubiri said that the suspects of the 2017 Marawi siege are possibly connected to those who were behind the attack at Mindanao State University.
00:35 Do you have such information?
00:39 You're right in what you said. There's a connection or there could be a connection to former members of the Islamiyah Maute Group who were hiding in Marawi during the latest bombing at MSU.
00:56 In fact, the two identified are remnants of the Daula Islamiyah Maute Group.
01:03 Have you talked about the involvement of ISIS in the bombing? They were the first to claim.
01:09 In 2017, the purpose was to have a caliphate led by ISIS, but it was dissolved because of the death of the people in court.
01:21 If they are connected, we should investigate that. That will determine whether they are involved or not.
01:29 The first information that came out is that the people behind this attack are foreigners, who came from President Bongbong Marcos and Secretary Gubucho Doro.
01:40 These two suspects that you're talking about and one more, how did you get the information that there are foreign terrorists involved in this, Colonel?
01:50 The two suspects are local, but the possibility that they have connections abroad is not discounted.
02:01 Yes. Maybe there's a connection.
02:05 That's right.
02:07 The PNP reported a bomb scare in Metro Manila and Laguna. Has this been discussed? Where did this come from? The suspect is from Japan?
02:17 We haven't...
02:20 There's no such thing. Okay.
02:22 Maybe it's better if we give a reminder to our countrymen to spread unvalidated and unverified information.
02:32 Yes.
02:33 Just pass it to the PNP and military so we can investigate where this came from.
02:40 Yes.
02:41 Did you experience a failure of intelligence in the area, Colonel?
02:45 If we look at it, if something happens, usually, it's not all unverified. So in a way, yes there is a failure.
02:56 But whether there's a responsive accountability, we will investigate that.
03:04 Many are asking me, it's up to me, there are more than 100 ships, only 28 were left in Julian Felipe Riff.
03:14 Why did the Chinese militia vessels leave? What should we say to the public regarding this?
03:23 First, their presence there is illegal. This is not in accordance with the law. It's in accordance with the off-close.
03:31 Julian Felipe Riff is within our exclusive economic zone. Therefore, whoever should be encouraged to go there, our countrymen should go there.
03:41 Second, they are limiting our access. This is also illegal. It's not allowed to enter the country. They should not leave.
03:57 I hope they will listen to all the things they are doing, which is seen by people all over the world, which is wrong.
04:04 Anyway, this is what their reputation is saying.
04:07 Thank you very much AP spokesperson Colonel Medel Aguirre. Be careful.
04:13 Thank you very much Arnold and thank you to our viewers.
04:18 Igan, you are the first in the news. Subscribe to GMA Integrated News on YouTube.
04:23 To all the listeners abroad, follow us on GMA Pinoy TV and www.gmanews.tv.
