On the authenticity of the passport, the BI primary inspectors&#8217; initial determination is that the passport is genuine,\u201d Mangrobang added.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Ronald dela Rosa reported the arrest of the suspected ISIS member and his Filipina partner, Anabel Moncera Salipada from Upi in Maguindanao in Manila.<\/p>\n<p>They were arrested in a rented place in Room 409, Casa Blanca Apartment along M.
