Im a DU30 supporter and the old adage comes to mind, a worker is only as good as the tools that he has, or someone is only as strong as his weakest link.
From what i have seen of the Filipino army, and you would know far more then me Tawi, the Philippine Army are ill equipped, and probably even less well trained, really nothing more than glorified policeman, it wouldnt take much for a well equipped, and properly trained Terrorist outfit to cause them problems, probably the only advantage the Army have is numbers, but if they are up against well equipped Terrorists they will quickly lose heart for the fight.
