More Info: youtube.com/watch?v=zyWTlxhIvns Talks about the Mapandi bridge which is a crucial tactical asset to fight Maute as it connects the entire AFP controlled part with the center of the city where the remaining hideouts of Maute allegedly lays. It's hard to take it because snipers are positioned around it, and there could also be an IED rigged to it. Maute has also 'beheaded' a statue of National Hero Jose P. Rizal
youtube.com/watch?v=taCuBokrepk Maute propaganda video of kidnapped priest forced to tell Duterte to comply with Maute demands or there may be consequences for the rest of the hostages >“Mr. President, we are in the midst of war,” Fr. Teresito “Chito” Suganob said in a video that has been circulating on Facebook. “We are asking for your help. Please give us what your enemies are asking for. They are not asking for anything, just withdraw your forces away from Lanao del Sur and Marawi City. Stop the air strikes, stop the air attacks, stop the cannons.” >“We do not ask for anything. We just ask you to leave this place peacefully,” Suganob said, standing in front of some destroyed buildings. Gunfire could also be heard while he was talking. >“Do not use violence, your enemies are ready to die for their religion,” he said. >"We want to live another day, we want to live another month," Suganob said, standing in front of debris and partially burned buildings. Directing his remarks to Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, he said, "We want to live few years and in your generosity, Mr. President, in your heart, we know you can make something (happen)." >"Along with us are about 200 carpenters, household helpers, children and youth, and ordinary Christian settlers," he said. The presence of that number of hostages could not be independently confirmed.

FROM RECENT DUTERTE SPEECH: youtube.com/watch?v=a1k7EoH6_wo >Duterte slams the muslims and communists for shitting up his country on the Navy's anniversary >Describes muslims as the authoritarian religion it is >No more peace talks to the commies, have fun you UPfags >BTFOs the press for being witch hunting bastards like the US (((MSM))) >Slams Chelsea Clinton for being a hypocrite

The infamous picture of the 'captured' APC is probably caused by its crew running over a smaller(but still harmful) landmine/IED, injuring all of them and forcing them to flee, whereas another APC was disabled from an RPG, shown in the video below
8 Maute members surrender, provide ‘valuable’ intel — AFP
>The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) on Wednesday announced that eight members of the Maute terrorist group have surrendered and provided important information to the military.
>“From the unit of General Parcon, there were eight members hold up in Marawi who surrendered to his forces,” AFP Spokesperson Brig. Gen. Restituto Padilla Jr. said during a Palace briefing.
>“And these individuals have been talked to and debriefed and have provided very, very valuable intelligence,” he said.
Freed inmates joined Maute in Marawi City battle, AFP says
>A week-long assault by Maute group terrorists in Marawi City is being fueled with stolen weapons and ammunition and fighters broken out of jails, the military said on Wednesday, as troops battled militants resisting ground and air attacks. >The pro-Islamic State Maute group has proven to be a fierce enemy, clinging on to the heart of Marawi City through days of air strikes on what the military called known rebel targets, defying expectations of a swift end to their occupation. >The military deployed for the first time SF-260 close air support planes to back attack helicopters and ground troops looking to box rebels into a downtown area. >The army said the rebels hold about a tenth of the city. >The hardline Maute had kept up the fight with rifles and ammunition stolen from a police station, a prison, and an armored police vehicle, and were using them to hold off the troops, said military spokesman Restituto Padilla. >The militants had freed jailed comrades to join the battle and opted to engage in urban warfare because the city had stocks of arms and ample supplies of food. >"Yes indeed, there was planning involved," Padilla said. >President Rodrigo Duterte is alarmed by the strength of the Maute and intelligence reports suggesting it has teamed up with other extremist groups and has recruited foreign fighters.
>Dozens of foreign jihadis have fought side-by-side with Islamic State sympathizers against security forces in the southern Philippines over the past week, evidence that the restive region is fast becoming an Asian hub for the ultra-radical group. >A Philippines intelligence source said that of the 400-500 marauding fighters who overran Marawi City on the island of Mindanao last Tuesday, as many as 40 had recently come from overseas, including from countries in the Middle East. >The source said they included Indonesians, Malaysians, at least one Pakistani, a Saudi, a Chechen, a Yemeni, an Indian, a Moroccan and one man with a Turkish passport. >"IS is shrinking in Iraq and Syria, and decentralizing in parts of Asia and the Middle East," said Rohan Gunaratna, a security expert at Singapore's S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies. >"One of the areas where it is expanding is Southeast Asia and the Philippines is the centre of gravity."
There has been a massive surge in posters with American flag that shit on Duterte after he called out Chelsea Clinton on her hypocrisy and BTFO'ed her
I am totally convinced it's actually Shariablue shills

In pictures: ISIS forces Christians to convert in Marawi as Philippine Army seizes jihadist guns
>Disturbing photos emerged on Wednesday showing alleged forced conversions of Christian residents in the predominately Sunni city of Marawi in the southern Philippines, much like earlier ISIS procedures in Iraq.
>Although around 90% of Marawi’s previous 200,000 civilians have fled, some people – including a few dozen Christians – have decided to stay behind in a mark of defiance to the Islamic State which overran most of the embattled city last week.
maybe later we can see videos on them eating mudslimes

Rolling for Duterte to grind jihadist scum into dust.

Maute shot down a Mavic drone

Maute claims they have killed over 100 AFP soldiers(how much should we trust Taqiya?), ambushed and captured an "entire armored convoy" of 2 disoriented APCs and still holding over half of the city, including the Mapandi and Bayabao bridges, downtown Marawi and Port of Marawi(which is pretty much 10% of the city kek)
Isaiah Roberts
When I think of it, this video could actually have been staged. They could have recovered the 2 previously lost APCs and set up one of them for the video(notice how it's not moving for an entire minute despite being so close to jihadists and being open topped giving the gunner more situational awareness) The damage itself of the APCs here is minuscule despite being claimed to have been hit by an RPG. They don't show the destroyed APC and only shows 2 of them, which match with the 2 APCs abandoned
tl;dr Maute is getting really desperate and I believe they are bullshitting again on having destroyed an armoured convoy
David Howard
reminds me of the ukrop guy who posted on his twitter that he destroyed several t-14 armatas or whatever with his RPG in one day but his phone died and he couldnt take pictures lol
The APC is pretty much just standing still in the center of a heated battle with no infantry support around it, which is very strange.
I think it's just propaganda
Joseph Reed
this is some golden kek, holy shit

Benjamin Powell

Why would the towing cable of the APC be positioned like it is in pic related?
Gee, I wonder why
Also why are the APCs parked in such a clumsy manner?

I'm originally from the Philippines, specifically Iligan City, my family are all business owners, academics, medicos/doctors and local politicians.
The last group, have their own militias to protect them, but they're aligned with the Liberal Party (Roxas) and they're okay for now, but they're planning to escape to Cebu if shit hits fan over in Iligan. I don't have any family in Marawi, but I did have a couple of cousins who were nurses there for a while.
I also have one uncle who's a retired PNP officer, but he still has a few rifles, pistols and even a couple of RPGs (confiscated from terrorists). He volunteers with the UNHCR who are still fixing up shit from all the typhoons and floodings.
I'm still fucking scared for my family mates :(
Sebastian Barnes
When you have a bunch of leaders saying to your enemy surrender now or die. I'm pretty sure they mean business.
Still waiting for the obligatory hunting season of "terrorists trying to escape a running van" situation.

You know that priest is fucked when all the flips are literally saying that he's a holy man and will go to heaven anyway so we're sorry that he's going to have to be a collateral damage.

"I specifically warned everybody there is more dark cloud ahead of us. I was referring specifically to the contamination of ISIS slowly creeping towards our shores," Duterte told navy personnel in Davao City. "In Marawi now, I have to tell you we have suffered tremendous losses because we are the invading force and they have been waiting for a long time for the forces of the republic to come."
