We are talking about the Philippines. The guns do come from the US. The entire country is heavily armed -- compared to most countries -- especially Mindanao. Bullets are widely available. Some people would say this is exactly why the situation is not going to calm down and certainly not quickly.

I have several firearms (here in the US) that were made in the Philippines. I'm not so sure they're not a net arms exporter.
