Confetti rains on marching Filipino UN peacekeepers as they are given a heroes welcome Wednesday, Oct. 1, 2014 at Camp Aguinaldo in suburban Quezon city northeast of Manila, Philippines. In a separate ceremony at the Presidential Palace earlier, Philippine President Benigno Aquino III said his government will no longer deploy troops to security hotspots in the world where they can face unclear or impossible U.N. peacekeeping missions like in the Golan Heights, where Filipino forces came under attack by al-Qaida-linked insurgents. Aquino III said Wednesday hundreds of Filipino peacekeepers were tasked to guard a buffer zone separating Israel and Syria. But when the current Syrian conflict spilled over into the buffer zone and anti-government Islamic militants started attacking the Filipino peacekeepers, their mission became unclear.
