The group also targeted DMCI main office and the Chinese Embassy.<\/p>\n<p>Lawyer Rommel Vallejo, head of the NBI\u2019s Anti-Organized Transnational Crime Division, the group that foiled the bombing Monday, said the three suspects who were arrested told them that they have a contact inside the Mall of Asia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey said they already have a contact from inside the mall to help them smuggle the explosives inside,\u201d Vallejo said.<\/p>\n<p>Arrested by the NBI were Grandeur\u00a0Pepito\u00a0Guerrero, Emmanuel San Pedro and Sonny\u00a0Yohanon, alleged members of the USAFFE, which has expressed dismay over the government\u2019s soft stance against China.<\/p>\n<p>After the series of attacks, De Lima said the group would have read a manifesto, a copy of which would have been sent to various media entities as well.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>In its manifesto, the USAFFE said it was composed of former and active members of the military, police and former members of the New People\u2019s Army and Moro National Liberation Front.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>The group, in its manifesto, said it was time for the government to show the whole world that the Philippines could stand up against China. But if the Aquino administration cannot defend the country, they said it was the duty of the soldiers to do so.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>The group originally planned to its operation last August 25, National Heroes\u2019 Day but was reset to September 1.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_634688\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/newsinfo.inquirer.net\/files\/2014\/09\/USAFFE-manifesto.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-634688\" class=\" wp-image-634688 \" title=\"USAFFE manifesto\" src=\"https:\/\/newsinfo.inquirer.net\/files\/2014\/09\/USAFFE-manifesto-660x1173.jpg\" alt=\"USAFFE manifesto\" width=\"620\" height=\"1102\" srcset=\"https:\/\/newsinfo.inquirer.net\/files\/2014\/09\/USAFFE-manifesto-660x1173.jpg 660w, https:\/\/newsinfo.inquirer.net\/files\/2014\/09\/USAFFE-manifesto-61x109.jpg 61w, https:\/\/newsinfo.inquirer.net\/files\/2014\/09\/USAFFE-manifesto-300x533.jpg 300w, https:\/\/newsinfo.inquirer.net\/files\/2014\/09\/USAFFE-manifesto-342x608.jpg 342w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-634688\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">This is the group&#8217;s manifesto which they intend to read and disseminate to the media upon the completion of their plan.
