I pity these guys once Duterte gets to work with them. This actually plays perfectly for him, now he can take town their whole organization and raise even more support from the public. It almost sounds a bit too good to be true, like maybe it's something staged like the coup in Turkey.
You have weird information. Every single coup is staged by nature. The one Turkey by Gülenists cooperating with United States. For some reason, though, administration was warned well ahead, either by insiders or by some third power.
Conflict with islamists in Phillipines to my knowledge goes back to atleast 18th century and perhaps earlier as the Moro people of south, who accepted islam are fiercely independent folk. I would certainly welcome, if natives could enlighten us on inner workings. Western media are almost criminally vague, when it comes to local customs and ongoing news.
