Abstract
Terrorism is a major issue in the Philippines. From bombings, kidnappings, murders and hijackings, Philippines tried to suppress violence and to put an end to terrorism. Different approaches have been rendered in resolving terrorism such as peace talks and by way of improving our military forces in order to safeguard the protection of the people. The effort of the government to counter terrorism has a negative effect in the country.
