00:00Newslet, dahil po sa report kahapon na mayroong, o umasok sa bansa, yung mag-amang galman,
00:06sa Bondi Beach Massacre sa Australia, before yung nangyaring mass shooting,
00:11may ilang foreign media po ngayon na nagdalarawan sa Pilipinas as an ISIS training hotspot or terror hotspot.
00:19Ano po yung, what is Malacanang's position regarding this statement po?
00:23Of course, the President strongly rejects the sweeping statement and the misleading characterization of the Philippines as the ISIS training hotspot.
00:35At dahil dito ay napanayan po natin, o nakausap po natin mismo, ang pamunan ng NSC, at ito po ang tanginang tugol at aking babasahin.
00:45Regarding reports describing the Philippines as an ISIS hotspot, the characterization is misleading.
00:54Currently, there is no validated report or confirmation that individuals involved in the Bondi Beach incident received any form of training in the Philippines.
01:05Philippine authorities, in coordination with international partners, continue to verify all available information,
01:12but no evidence has been presented to support claims that the country was used for terrorist training.
01:20Since the 2017 Marawi siege, Philippine security forces have significantly degraded ISIS-affiliated groups in the country.
01:29Both United Nations and the U.S. government assessments indicate that these groups now operate in a fragmented and diminished capacity.
01:38Violence in Mindanao is largely driven by historical conflicts and local land disputes,
01:46rather than the operational capacity of ISIS-affiliated organizations.
01:52Recent assessments indicate significant improvements in the domestic security environment that were previously affected by terrorism.
02:00These developments reflect the sustained efforts of our security forces and the resilience of our communities in advancing peace, order, and development across the nation.
02:13The President orders the Anti-Terrorism Council and member agencies to remain vigilant in preventing any terrorist activity within Philippine territory,
02:24and to continuously enhance coordination with international partners to safeguard national security.
02:33Yan po ang responde ng NSE sa issue na po yan.
02:54The President here
