The town of Shariff Aguak in Maguindanao del Sur province was placed under heightened security watch following the ambush that killed two policemen and wounded four others on Wednesday night.

Macabanding, in a local radio interview, said they launched a deeper investigation to determine the motive alongside a manhunt for the suspects.“There have been threats against the police and military in the locality from some groups,” he said in Filipino, without identifying them.

He appealed to residents who might have information on the attack to help authorities catch the suspects. “The PNP strongly condemns these cowardly attacks on law enforcement personnel and is committed to bringing the perpetrators to justice,” Acorda said in a statement on Thursday, as he ordered the police in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao to hunt down and arrest the still unidentified gunmen.“This case will not go unsolved—punishment is certain for those responsible for this heinous crime,” he said.

Shariff Aguak is one of the areas where the Daulah Islamiyah -Hassan Group operates. Police and military officials say BIFF is allied with the DI and the Maute Group, which were among those responsible for the siege of Marawi City in 2017.
