If that is the case, I wish Mr Duterte and the Philippines all the best in getting rid of these ASG terrorists asap.
The people of Mindanao has suffered long enough. They deserve better.

Strangely, the ASG suddenly disowns the terror attack and tells its "ally" was responsible - the only ally the ASG have is ISIS.

Duterte declares ‘state of lawlessness’

President Rodrigo Duterte early Saturday declared “a state of lawlessness” or “a state of lawless violence” to counter terrorism and strengthen the campaign against illegal-drug trade.
Speaking in a televised interview, he clarified “it’s not martial law but it would require nationwide, well-coordinated efforts of the military and the police.”
“I have this duty to protect the country. I have this duty to keep intact the integrity of the nation,” he added.
“There will be major checkpoints,” he said.
Around 4 a.m. Saturday, Duterte visited the site of the explosion at the Davao City night market that had left 14 dead and 67 wounded, based on the latest police reports.
“This is not the first time Davao has been sacrificed in the altar of violence,” he added, citing there have been terrorist acts in the past.
He considered the incident a police matter, “not a war.”
He said such thing happened because Davao “is not under a fascist state. “
“Everybody can come in and out of Davao,” he said. “Davao is safe, there is no criminality here except terrorism.”
He ordered the police and the military to conduct searches and set up checkpoints in the city.
Asked for his message his Davao residents, he said “keep calm.”
“The government is with you. We will protect everyone,” he said. With a report from Anthony Esguerra/INQUIRER.net

Metro Manila on full alert

Police in Metro Manila have been placed on full alert status following an explosion in a night market in Davao City on Friday which killed at least 14 people and wounded 74 others.
National Capital Regional Police Office (NCRPO) Chief Supt. Oscar Albayalde declared full alert status in Metro Manila effective 12:01 p.m. Saturday to “step up the security in the region.”
Under the full alert status, all district directors were ordered to set up checkpoints in strategic places, and to increase police visibility in all vital installations, malls, churches, train stations and all places of convergence.
“We are stepping up security measures for everyone’s safety. All community activities remain normal, we will not allow lawless elements to derail our path towards peace. It will still be a weekend for families,” the NCRPO public information office said.
Members of the Special Reaction Unit, Tactical Motorcycle Riding Unit and Public Safety Battalion were deployed to strategic areas in the metropolis.
Checkpoints and Oplan Sita would also be conducted along all roads leading to airports and seaports.
President Duterte declared a “state of lawlessness” early Saturday in the aftermath of the explosion but clarified that it was not a declaration of martial law.
The Abu Sayyaf owned up to the deadly attack, Interior Secretary Mike Sueno said. But the Abu Sayyaf later blamed it on its allied group Daulat Ul Islamiya.
In Manila, six police stations have been placed on full alert and were augmented with 200 additional personnel. These police stations in the country’s capital, which has 11 stations, cover Malacañang Palace, the US Embassy, universities, sea ports, bus terminals, old churches and LRT stations.
The city is also home to vital government structures like the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals.
The Southern Police District would also set up checkpoints at the metro’s entry and exit points in Las Piñas, Parañaque and Muntinlupa.
Albayalde said what the police were doing was a “proactive security measure to prevent what happened in Davao City.”
Albayalde personally led the inspections at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminals 2 and 3, MRT Taft station and bus terminals along Edsa in Pasay City, and the Market! Market! mall in Taguig City.
The checkpoints were set up as early as 2 a.m. on Saturday outside Naia by members of the Southern Police District—some armed with assault rifles. However, the checkpoints caused heavy traffic along Andrews Avenue and Airport Road.
In one of the bus terminals, a security officer said the police told them to keep their eyes on suspicious individuals and baggage. He said the commuters welcomed the heightened security.
The Quezon City Police District (QCPD) also placed the city under lockdown yesterday following the Davao City blast.
Senior Supt. Guillermo Eleazar, the QCPD head, said they have already deployed police personnel to man strategic areas in the city’s 110 entry and exit points to deter any possible attacks.
Eleazar also dismissed that the bomb threat on Thursday at UP Diliman was related to the attack in Davao, saying it was a “hoax.”
Eleazar yesterday led the inspection of various transport hubs in the city, such as the Araneta Center bus terminal and the LRT Roosevelt and Balintawak stations.
