The location of Marawi -- only a stone's throw from North Sulawesi -- also raises concern. People speculate that it is not impossible for ISIS guerrillas to move into surrounding areas. The presence in Marawi of fighters from outside the Philippines, including from Indonesia, have added to these worries.
