I just read the news update on GMA News online that ISIS is not existing in the Philippines. The rebel group that attacked the city of Marawi is called Maute. I have learned that they are courting ISIS to be recognized that is why they are showing these terror acts. University students, on the other hand, are protesting about the declaration of Martial Law in Mindanao. I believe their protest won't help the nation to be in peace. Source:

I've heard from Filipino friends here that South part of the Philippines can be a bit risky for Americans.

So let's say that there are not YET ISIS in the Philippines. I hope those terrorists can be stopped before they can join ISIS.

@TheHorse I have not yet understood if the big countries did something useful to stop them, or only words.

@LadyDuck I think that's "wishful thinking" when it comes to ISIS-influenced terrorists.

According to the news, the flags were used to show the international group that they exist and to be recognized.

Terrorists are everywhere, whatever name they go under. We've had several attacks in England lately.

OMG!! I also shocked when I saw it on the newspaper, I felt like they are so greed and cruel and I ate it. Just want to ask they that "Do you think do that make you feel more happy and get love from people? Well, YOU wrong because You have lowered yourself when you worked for ISIS". FREE is the best!!!

good to know you made another post contradicting your previous discussion. but we must not be lax about it, because it will be terrible if the ISIS will recognize the Maute group as one of ots sub-terrorist group.
