THOSE GALLANT IGOROTS!... "Many desperate acts of courage and heroism have fallen under my observation on many fields of battle in many parts of the world. I have seen forlorn hopes become realities. I have seen last ditch-stands and innumerable acts of personal heroism that defy description, but for sheer breathtaking and heart stopping desperation, I have never known the equal of those IGOROTS riding the tanks. Gentlemen when you tell the story stand in tribute to those gallant IGOROTS." _Gen. Douglas MacArthur with the 66th Infantry Regiment USAFIP NL Igorot Guerrillas GHQ, Camp Utopia, Kapangan, Benguet Province.
"That the SAF is part of the civilian National Police, not the military, is no excuse. The commando unit has military hardware and training, and employs military tactics and terms (like the oft-repeated “T-O-T,” time-on-target). The military acknowledges the SAF’s superior capabilities from regular cops, and competes with it in recruiting ideal storm troopers from the Cordilleras. The SAF was pivotal in the civilian-backed military uprising against Dictator Marcos in Feb. 1986." (P-Noy’s foes daydream though if they think the SAF can pull off a coup d’état.)
