The never breaking sky sound at
night that brought by PAF (Philippine Air Force) helicopters that were patrolling
city of Zamboanga that makes residents to speculate that there is a military
operation.
It may disturb some people as the
chopper shatters the serenity of night. For others, it may be perceived as
another firefight between government troops and armed threat groups. But people
should not be worried about the PAF helicopters flying at night especially in vicinity
of Zamboanga City.
