So yes, we're having a little crusade over here.
Pic related, Philippine Scout Rangers crept up to this rebel encampment and slit the throat of the sentry then engaged the rest of the group. They then scrambled in different directions after an ensuing firefight which ended up with another rebel death.

Mosat of our neighbors are muslim, mind you.
The southern parts of my country is predominantly muslim and has resisted rule even when we were still under the spaniards. Hell, they even gave the americans quite a headache back then.

The Phillipines don't seem like the greatest place to start terror groups to me. Don't you guys have an elected official out there whos basically the real life version of the Punisher? You dudes seem like you won't take any shit.

Mindanao is basically our wild west and terrorist groups still largely go unchecked over there. Hell, even terrorists from neighboring countries like malaysia and indonesia stay there since it's damn near impossible to control.
Also, that elected official (Duterte) you're talking about is known to be very chummy with the communists and also has connections with these islamic groups. The only individuals he caps off are just the small ones
>>71046810
He wore an ISIS shirt and a suicide vest at the time he was killed.
He was teaching local rebels on how to make bombs and is trying to convince them to step up on suicide bombing attacks

>a part of the requirement to earn their badge is to have confirmed body counts
These guys were also instrumental on almost steamrolling those islamists during the all out war under our former president Estrada

There are also Catholic militias that help fight these rebels

False, there are more Visayan-speaking people than Moro people in Mindanao. All cities/areas in Mindanao except ARMM have Visayan people as majority & Moro people as minority

False, Duterte is no communist, that's just black propaganda stupid people believe, if he was communist then he would have been arrested a long time ago. Don't believe everything on Facebook kid.
>The only individuals he caps off are just the small ones
FYI, a lot of big time Chinese drug lords & syndicates have been executed & caught in Davao, that's why people there feel safe & you don't see drug addicts & solvent-sniffing street children roaming the streets unlike degenerate Manila

I remember when Abu Sayyaf took a bunch of tourists hostage in 2000. Among the hostages was a Finnish gay couple.
