MANILA- The Philippine National Police
(PNP) assured the public Monday that it is ready to respond to possible
retaliation efforts of local terror group Abu Sayyaf following the death of one
of its leaders.
This after a DNA test confirmed the death
of Abu Dar, the supposed emir of the Islamic State in Southeast Asia.
Police General Oscar Albayalde said the PNP
continues to receive intelligence reports on possible retaliation efforts of
the terror group but assured the public that the police force has not monitored
any terror threat this Holy Week.
“We’re not taking any chances here. We’ll
be deploying more than 91,000 of our people in different places of convergence
especially sa mga malalaking simbahan or pinupuntahan ng worshippers natin,
churchgoers natin para magdasal,” he told reporters Monday.
Albayalde also assured the public that the
double bomb attack that rocked the Our Lady of Mount Carmel Cathedral in Jolo
last January would not happen again as police intensified security measures.
The attack left at least 22 people dead and
prompted President Rodrigo Duterte to order the military to "destroy"
the Islamic State-inspired terrorists in the restive south.
