Another country warns its citizens against traveling to Mindanao. And there might be a possible breakthrough in the Batocabe case. Here are the stories making the headlines on ANC today:

Australia has advised its citizens not to travel to Central and Western Mindanao. This comes days after the UK also issued a similar travel advisory after the mall blast in Cotabato City. Defense Sec. Delfin Lorenzana said the UK advisory is nothing out of the ordinary. Officials have branded the Cotabato blast as an act of terrorism.
