SECURITY AND intelligence operations in Sulu remain in full swing despite the June 29 incident where four military intelligence personnel were shot and killed by policemen in Jolo, according to Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) spokesperson, Marine Maj. Gen. Edgard Arevalo, on Friday.
"The security and intelligence operations in Sulu continue in full swing up to this very moment," he said in a message to reporters when asked on whether the incident has created an impact on its security operations and the ongoing hunt for reported terrorist bombers in the area.
He added that there is no let-up in their operations as the guidance of AFP chief-of-staff, Gen. Filemon Santos to all military personnel is "eyes on the ball" or keeping focus on their tasks.
"The disruption of the operation due to that unfortunate incident was a temporary setback. The entire AFP machinery and infrastructure are still in place and on track," he added.
Killed on Monday's incident in Jolo, Sulu were Major Marvin A. Indammog, 39; Capt. Irwin B. Managuelod, 33; Sgt. Jaime M. Velasco, 38 and Cpl. Abdal Asula, 33.
The four were tailing four terrorist suicide bombers in Jolo when gunned down by the members of the Jolo Municipal Police Station for still unknown reasons. (By Priam Nepomuceno)
