There is a coordinate given here:
https://twitter.com/ANCALERTS/status/564990109913608193/photo/1
"GC 6798365714"
Assuming "6798365714" as Military Grid Reference System
I tried this online MGRS to WGS84 Converter:
http://www.legallandconverter.com/p50.html
using MGRS format --> 51N XH 67983 65714
where:
51N is GZD (Grid Zone Designator) based on
http://www.legallandconverter.com/images/world-mgrs-grid.jpg
XH is the "100-km Grid Square ID" from shp file of 51N on
http://earth-info.nga.mil/GandG/coordsys/grids/mgrs_1km_polygon_dloads.html#Downloading
Result:
WGS84 --> *Lat 6.92489 Long 124.52047*
This points to a familiar area on:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=6.9249&mlon=124.5205#map=14/6.9249/124.5205
Could this be it?
There's a drone video by Raffy Tima described as
"an aerial view of the PNP-SAF extraction route towards waiting SAF
commandos on the highway more than a kilometer away."
I don't know if it's pointing to the same area:
