00:23They also continue to target guerrilla operations or small-scale POGOs, particularly in Visayas and Pindanao.
00:30Usec Cruz also mentioned that the coordination of the Department of Interior and Local Government, or DILG,

00:53The DILG and our coordination with Secretary John B. Cremulia is good.
01:03And of course, the DOJ, because they are the ones who help us with the filing of cases.
