President Duterte has sounded the alarm about an imminent terror threat in the country, saying enemies might attack airports, ports and other public places.
The President said he has called for an emergency meeting with concerned officials to address the latest security challenge, adding the threat was “coming in very fast.”
“I’m also reminded of the serious threat now but I hope that you have to raise the awareness not only the senses of – and maybe just it’s good to anticipate that there’s gonna be one in the coming days about terrorism,” Duterte said during the launch of a new air traffic management system in Pasay City last Tuesday.
“They’d like to blow up our people convergence and also converge in airports, pantalan, park because of what happened in the Mindanao provinces today. As I have said, we have the threat remaining,” he said.
As he called for intensified public vigilance, Duterte said he has ordered the military and police to give no quarter to the terrorists plotting against the country.
“My guidance to the security forces of government, the AFP and PNP, is that in this matter of security against terrorism, it’s will be no quarters asked, no quarters given,” he said.
The President issued the warning of possible terror attacks even as he highlighted the improved security condition in Mindanao due to the martial law declaration.
