I don't agree with negotiating with terrorists by and large, but yes, they were scheduled to leave August 20th I think. If they say they will leave 2 weeks early to save a life - I'm OK with that. It's not like they were changing policy on Iraq, merely slightly accelerating their schedule.
Don't forget, the Philipines has domestic terror issues, inclduing Islamic terror cells. They are pretty well educated on these issues.
