AFP tells public: Report ‘new faces’ in your areas

The public should report “new faces in the neighborhood” as part of keeping a close eye on foreign terrorists who might enter the southern back door of the country, according to the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP).

Col. Edgard Arevalo, AFP spokesman, came up with the reminder a few days after Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said the military has been verifying reports that foreign terrorists have entered the Philippines through Tawi-Tawi and Sulu provinces in Mindanao.
