I'm no expert, but I do watch movies, and just one look at the Indian anti-terrorist forces told me that their armaments and other gizmos were less than state-of-the-art. I just hope that our own are not as outdated. I guess we can always borrow from the U.S. forces lurking at the fringes of our national security apparatus.

One would hope that the metro-Manila authorities (and the Philippine government) maintain positive cooperation with USA, Britain, Australia, Thailand, Interpol. One would also hope that the Philippine authorities have the equipment that apparently India did not have (e.g. high-power sniper rifles and scopes; quality bulletproof vests; radio equipment).
