ZAMBOANGA CITY (Philippine Daily Inquirer/ANN): Sgt. Al-Ameen Musappa Sahibuddin was excited to go home to Jolo and see his family again after a three-month training in Malaybalay, Bukidnon.

Even after more than two decades with the Philippine Army, the Tausug soldier in his mid-40s was so excited about his new assignment that he even posed for a group picture near the tail of a C-130 plane before boarding it on Sunday (July 4).
