"I send one person up there other day to go find Abu Sayyaf," he said. "Tell them the military is helping us with water project. I ask, 'Please no problem?' Then I receive message from them. It said, 'We will go away from your municipal.' "

"Attack us? Destroy the water system?"

"No," he said, with a sly grin. "They know if they destroy water project, the people will hate them."
