Corruption TS. Quite simply corruption. At all levels of government in Mindanao. And leaking intelligence to the bad guys.
That's part of it. Don't get me wrong, I know they're a corrupt country. I'm just thinking it's more about Duterte holding back due to UN & humanitarian constraints with possible intervention. He's taken a very ballsy approach to his war on drugs, that brought world wide criticism. I'm sure he'd want to apply his drug approach to Islamists but is concerned of world out cry. He seems like a genuine nationalist with a high approval rating and trust of his people. I'm sure we'll see serious action by him in the near future if things continue to escalate.
