Military spokesman Maj. Gen. Restituto Padilla Jr. said on Friday that Australia’s warning was only a reiteration of a previous travel advisory issued in May. De la Rosa said international intelligence agencies were helping to monitor possible terrorist threats for the upcoming Asean meetings. I hope [terror groups]won’t make it here,” de la Rosa said.
