It was reissued in a more succinct manner and may have an update next week following the end of combat operations in Marawi,&#8221; Maj. Gen. Restituto Padilla said when asked to comment on the matter late Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Australia, in its Nov. 3 travel advisory to the Philippines, said there is a high threat of terrorist attack in the country, including Manila.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Exercise heightened caution at this time. Be alert to possible threats around locations that have a low level of protective security and places known to be possible terrorist targets,&#8221; the advisory added.<\/p>\n<p>Fighting in Marawi City was declared over after military forces killed Abu Sayyaf leader Isnilon Hapilon and Omar Maute, one of the founders of the Maute Group, last October 23.<\/p>\n<p>The fighting, which began May 23, killed an estimated 920 terrorists and their allies along with 165 soldiers and 47 civilians.<\/p>\n<p>When asked if there are still terror threats in the country, Padilla said the AFP has yet to detect any at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>Wala<\/em>, reiteration\u00a0<em>lang ito<\/em>.
