One counter-terrorism tactic employed is to arrest suspects of terrorism acts arbitrarily primarily focus against alleged members of the Abu-Sayyaf Group (ASG). These indiscriminate apprehension and/or use of questionable warrants of arrests usually results to “mistaken identity” detention . Most of the detainees remain in prison for years without even seeing the court, abandoned from due process of the law. However while this is true , there are also cases that self-confessed ASG members and acknowledged participation in the kidnapping of journalist Ces Drilon, among other is now out from prison. No thanks for mind boggling process started and will continue by esteemed agencies like the National Commission of Muslim Filipinos (NCMF) and the Anti-Terrorism task Force of the Department of Justice (DOJ).
