TWO non-government organizations operating two schools in the Philippines decried the accusations made by Turkish Ambassador Esra Cankorur that they are involved in terrorist activities. She said the “sinister” group is affiliated with schools and a business chamber. They said affiliated schools are legally operating in various countries, including the United States, Belgium, France, Australia, Japan, South Africa and Germany. “We do not and have never had any links with any group involved in terror attacks.” ICAD and PDF said, adding they have never been involved in any criminal activities in the Philippines or elsewhere. Arslan said ICAD and PDF are not affiliated with any terrorist organization.
