ARMED Forces Chief Rey Leonardo Guerrero admitted on Friday that it would be "overly ambitious" to finish off terrorists in Mindanao within his term despite his claim that kidnapping in the region has been reduced to 11 in 2017 from 37 in 2016.

"For me to say that we will be able to finish the terrorist problem within my term considering that I will be serving only up to April, maybe [it] will be overly ambitious," Guerrero said in his first formal press briefing in Camp Aguinaldo, Quezon City.
