Manila Philippines - Just in. Without so much ado and without being asked by the Philippines government and military, Japan pledges 8 battalions of their soldiers to help crush the terrorist Abu Sayyaf group in the Philippines. This came almost 24 hours after the group bombed Davao City and killed 14 and wounded 70 plus people late last night at the night market. Shinzo Abe, Japan's Prime Minister was reported to reach to President Rody Duterte and offered help to send the Japanese soldier anytime the President Duterte okays the move. No further information is yet available and this still needs to be confirmed. Sources from the Malacanang Palace told a few reporters that this news is still hush-hush until it is verified by the President himself. A few Filipinos who are solid Duterte supporters rejoiced after hearing this very good news. Japan's soldiers will consist of more than 8,000 and a fleet of tanks and helicopters. It is rumored that Japan's Prime Minister really admires President Duterte's drive against crime, drugs and corruption.
