Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) public affairs office chief Lt. Col. Ramon Zagala on Wednesday assured the public that the country's intelligence community is working overtime to thwart possible bombing attacks against civilians and establishments.
He made this statement of several bombing attacks in civilian and military targets in the Mindanao this week, killing and wounding scores of people.
"The entire intelligence community, including the AFP and the Philippine National Police, is exerting all efforts to thwart possible attacks against civilians and establishments," he stressed.
"Although our security forces are focused on its intelligence and security operations, we call on every citizen to be alert and vigilant," Zagala pointed out.
He also added that preventing terror attacks is a shared responsibility and "we encouraged the civilian community to be perceptive of their surroundings and maintain immediate and constant communication with government authorities."
"Our troops will remain vigilant and will continue to exert pressure on armed threats to prevent them from planning and executing terroristic activities," Zagala concluded.
