Maute group has established presence in Metro—‘Bato’
Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief Director General Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa on Tuesday said that the Lanao-based Maute group has established its presence in Metro Manila following the arrest of a fifth suspect in the foiled bombing near the United States Embassy in Manila last year.
“This discovery leads us to believe that the Maute group has already established a presence in Metro Manila. As to what extent, that is the subject of our follow-up investigations and operations,” Dela Rosa said in a press conference where he presented the suspect.
Nasip Ibrahim, an alleged Maute extremist, was arrested inside the Salam Compound in Barangay (village) Culiat in Quezon City Monday evening.

Good thing the PNP caught almost all of them. They wanted to bomb the US embassy, the Nazareno procession and the Miss Universe recently held in the Philippines. This will be another challenge for the Duterte government.
