President Aquino has expressed disapproval over the issuance by the United States, Britain, Australia, and Canada of advisories for their citizens to travel to the Philippines.
Aquino said the Philippine government would appeal for the lifting of these alert warnings as these statements could gravely damage the country’s reputation.
The Armed Forces of the Philippines has promptly reacted to the advisories by placing Metro Manila
troops on heightened alert. Vital government and private installations including places frequented by foreigner nationals are also under close watch.
Meanwhile, the National Bureau of Investigation anti-terrorism unit admitted receiving unauthenticated foreign intelligence information regarding possible terror attack.
