“Hindi ko sinasabing walang threat, paulit-ulit kong sinasabi na wala tayong specific or imminent threat pero yung pangamba ng terrorista ay nandiyan lagi kahit saang lugar pwede nilang targetin (I’m not saying that there’s no threat, I kept repeating that there’s no direct and imminent threat but the worry over terrorists is there because they can make any place their target),” he said, emphasizing that vigilance should be practiced by everybody on the field.
The Lead Counter Terrorist Unit of the Armed Forces of the Philippines will join in the security as part of Task Force Cebu. /
