In everyday speech, a phrase may be any group of words, often carrying a special idiomatic meaning; in this sense it is roughly synonymous with expression. In linguistic analysis, a phrase is a group of words (or possibly a single word) that functions as a constituent in the syntax of a sentence—a single unit within a grammatical hierarchy. A phrase appears within a clause, although it is also possible for a phrase to be a clause or to contain a clause within it.
There is a difference between the common use of the term phrase and its technical use in linguistics. In common usage, a phrase is usually a group of words with some special idiomatic meaning or other significance, such as "all rights reserved", "economical with the truth", "kick the bucket", and the like. It may be a euphemism, a saying or proverb, a fixed expression, a figure of speech, etc.
In grammatical analysis, particularly in theories of syntax, a phrase is any group of words, or sometimes a single word, which plays a particular role within the grammatical structure of a sentence. It does not have to have any special meaning or significance, or even exist anywhere outside of the sentence being analyzed, but it must function there as a complete grammatical unit. For example, in the sentence Yesterday I saw an orange bird with a white neck, the words an orange bird with a white neck form what is called a noun phrase, or a determiner phrase in some theories, which functions as the object of the sentence.
Marawi, officially the Islamic City of Marawi (Filipino: Lungsod Islamiko ng Marawi, Arabic: مدينة مراوى الإسلامية) and often referred to as Marawi City, is the capital city of the province of Lanao del Sur on the island of Mindanao in the Philippines. The people of Marawi are called the Maranaos and speak the Maranao language. They are named after Lake Lanao, which is called Meranau in the language, upon whose shores Marawi City lies. The city is also called the Summer Capital of the South because of its higher elevation and cooler climate, a nickname they share with Malaybalay City, Bukidnon who legally holds the title.
Marawi was founded as Dansalan in 1639 by the Spaniards led by Francisco Atienza who came from Iligan and were attempting to conquer the entire Lake Lanao area. However, it was abandoned later the same year when thousands of Maranao warriors invested the then-fortifying settlement, pressing the Spaniards hard and thus they returned to Iligan, having failed in their quest. The Spaniards only returned to the area when they began the conquest of the Sultanate of Maguindanao in late 19th century, only to be abandoned once again when the Americans came there in 1900. It served as the capital of the undivided Lanao province from 1907 to 1940. Dansalan in Meranaw is a place where ships berth - a port of entry.
The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) (Filipino: Sandatahang Lakas ng Pilipinas; Spanish: Fuerzas Armadas de Filipinas) is composed of the Philippine Army, Philippine Navy, Philippine Air Force and the Philippine Marine Corps. In 2012, a senior AFP officer reported its manpower strength to be 125,000, of which 85,000 were in the Army and the rest in the Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force. This figure matches closely with the IISS 2011 figure of 86,000 (Army), 24,000 (Navy and Marine Corps), and 15,000 (Air Force). In 2012, the AFP Chief of Staff said that there had been no increase in the number of soldiers over a long period, and that the military aims to hire 20,000 troops in three-years. In 2011 the IISS listed reserves as 100,000 Army, 15,000 Navy and Marine Corps, and 16,000 Air Force.
Pre-Hispanic Philippines maintained local militia groups under the barangay system. Reporting to the datu, these groups, aside from maintaining order in their communities, also served as their defense forces. With the arrival of Islam, the system of defense forces in the Mindanao region's sultanates under Muslim control mirrored those other existing sultanates in the region. These local warriors who were in the service of the Sultan were also responsible to qualified male citizens appointed by him.
The armed forces of a country are its government-sponsored defense, fighting forces, and organizations. They exist to further the foreign and domestic policies of their governing body and to defend that body and the nation it represents from external and internal aggressors. In broad usage, the terms "armed forces" and "military" are often treated synonymously, although in technical usage a distinction is sometimes made in which a country's armed forces may include both its military and other paramilitary forces. Armed force is the use of armed forces to achieve political objectives.
The study of the use of armed forces is called military science. Broadly speaking, this involves considering offense and defense at three "levels": strategy, operational art, and tactics. All three levels study the application of the use of force in order to achieve a desired objective.
In most countries the basis of the armed forces is the military, divided into basic military branches. However, armed forces can include other paramilitary structures.
The Philippine Army (PA), (Filipino: Hukbong Katihan ng Pilipinas; Spanish: Ejército Filipino), is the main branch and largest branch of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) responsible for ground warfare. Commanding General, Lieutenant General Eduardo Año, former Chief of Intelligence Service of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (ISAFP), assumed office on 15 July 2015, replacing Lieutenant General Hernando Iriberri, the new Chief of Staff, Armed Forces of the Philippines. Its main headquarters is located at Fort Bonifacio.
The Philippine Army, as the ground forces branch of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), traces its roots to the Tejeros Convention of March 22, 1897, from the days of the Philippine Revolution in Cavite, which among its resolutions, ordered to raise a standing army for the revolutionary forces. The Philippine Revolutionary Army (PRA), led by its first commanding general, Captain General Artemio Ricarte, was the result of that convention's decision. The new army fought the battles of the revolution until the Pact of Biak-na-Bato in the same year of its creation; and then again from 1898 until the collapse of the First Republic in 1901. Henceforth, March 22 is commemorated as Army Day to honor its inception.

The island has been under martial law since Tuesday and thousands of the residents in a besieged city have been evacuated. Ro Aram reports. The fighting started Tuesday when the Philippine army tried to raid the house of Isnilon Hapilon, leader of the extremist group Abu Sayyaf. However, the troops' failed attempt to capture Hapilon, who is on the FBI’s most wanted list, set off a violent backlash as a militant group known as the Maute started firing back. The chaos prompted President Rodrigo Duterte to declare martial law in the country's second-largest island, and he is now considering expa...

Intense scenes from the Phillipines shows the Philipine military in heavy clashes and urban combat firefights supported by bombing and airstrikes of the Philipine air force and army against ISIS affiliated groups in the city of Marwari where the Philipine government and ISIS are in a fierce battle over control. Islamist militants locked in street-to-street battles with security forces in a southern Philippine city have killed 19 civilians, the military said Sunday, bringing the official death toll from nearly a week of fighting to at least 85. The violence prompted the president, Rodrigo Duterte, to declare martial law on Tuesday across the southern third of the Philippines to quell what he said was a fast-growing threat of militants linked to the Islamic State group.

Philippine government forces continued their operation against members of the ISIS-aligned Maute group in Marawi's Barangay Mapandi. The ceasefire accord was initially reached after meeting between Duterte and representatives of the country's largest opposition group, Moro Islamic Liberation Front, who offered to broker the ceasefire negotiations. Most of the 200,000 population have fled. Over 2,000 remain trapped in Marawi.

There was a Pegasus with jet-black fur
And the paths it passed by were destroyed,
rotten and burned
It says: I see the world is covered with white
I am jet-black spot
No matter how much I cry,
I get white wings just in my dreams
Eating nice ones, I lurk in a hollow
A man came
His hand was so warm
His shadow whispered:
blac kspot can be an art on the white canvas
Chorus:
The kngiht in dusky blood coloured armour is
on my back
I unfolded my black wings
Scattering wind that makes lands decay
I will fly away for destruction
Is this my will?
Did God want me to die peacefully,
obeying providence and morality?
I see the world is covered with white
With full gallop above I ate men at random
My master turned his head and
looked at scribbled black line
Feeling my heart was closing, I look back too
Without hesistation
The shadows whispered again
Oh, happy I am, let's give a toast to us with wine
Hack the heads rolling over there
I'll cut my arm myself
Chorus:
The shadows whispered for the last that
God will decide where's
the end of line for us
I'm gonna look up at drawings from hell,
will you be above or bottom?
Chorus:
Before my knows I was crying held by fire
And I shook the load off which is
turned to dust
Again and again I flapped to go back to black night sky
Put fire on, run up to above
