President Rodrigo Roa Duterte was the guest of
honor when the Armed Forces of the Philippines conducted the destruction of
captured, confiscated, surrendered and recovered weapons from the Maute
terrorists during five (5) month Marawi siege crisis.
The demilitarization ceremony was held at the Philippine
Army Headquarters Grandstand, Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City. Almost 700 weapons recovered from the Islamic
State inspired extremists were destroyed by the Philippine Army.A road roller vehicle flattened machine guns, squad automatic weapons, rifle propelled grenade launchers, sniper rifles, M16 rifles, shotguns and airguns. They were then cut into pieces using a metal bond circular saw. *

“The demilitarization of
the... enemy weapons aims to demonstrate the government’s resolve to fight and
defeat terrorism in the country,” Lt. Col. Ray Tiongson said in a statement.
“The weapons were destroyed
to ensure that these can be rendered ineffective for use as a component or a
complete firearm,” he added.
The military said all
destroyed firearms will later be burned. Metal residues and scrap will be
properly kept for final disposal in accordance with the Armed Forces’ policies
and directives, Tiongson said.
The President earlier said
almost 2,000 weapons were seized in more than 800 armed encounters under the
leadership of then Armed Forces chief Eduardo Año.
Duterte witnessed the
destruction of the Marawi firearms just as Congress approved his request to
extend martial law in Mindanao for another year. ( abs-cbn website)
Use of Attack Helicopters
During the speech of the
President , he made it sure that the terror group New People’s Army will hear
him loud and clear.
“Mayroon akong attack
helicopters. Kayo pagpraktisan ko. Patayan pala gusto niyo,”
Last month the
President in his speech at the Philippine Army headquarters also in Taguig made
the promise he will buy 23 attack helicopters for the Armed Forces of the
Philippines.
It was also during
that speech he reiterated that he would not purchase second-hand equipment for
the government troops. *
"So lahat nang
bibilhin ko para sa inyo, puro bago. Wala ng purchases ang --- sa panahon ko,
‘yung Armed Forces pati police na secondhand. Bago lahat at gagastos
tayo," he said.
The president early
this month issued a proclamation classifying the Communist Party of the
Philippines and the New People’s Army as terrorists after the peace talks with
the government panel failed.

ReplyDeleteAny armed group or organization that are not license to carry arms and ammunition are deemed illegal and terrorists if those groups refuses to hand in and surrender their weapons. TERRORISM means death or imprisonment.
