Palace asks the public to help authorities foil terror attacks

The Palace on Friday called for increased public vigilance following the recent arrest of three suspected terrorists in Quezon City.

Initial reports from the authorities said the three were members of the Rajah Sulayman group, which appears to be plotting an attack in Metro Manila.

In a press briefing in Malacañang, Deputy Presidential Spokesperson Abigail Valte said the Armed Forces of the Philippines has yet to confirm the specific terror plot connected to the arrest of the suspects. 

“However, our intelligence units are seeking to validate or verify these reports, and as such, we are asking the people to report any suspicious activities that they see to their local law enforcement, just to aid in the efforts of our authorities,” Valte said.

She assured the public that security agencies are working more closely in monitoring the situation to preempt any criminal activity.

“Our security forces will continue to work more closely together,” Valte said.

She said that the government is continuing to monitor the security situation and is ready to preempt any criminal activities, as they have in this particular case because the three suspects were indeed apprehended.
