FMJ to AFP: Defend archipelago
By Nidz Godino
"We must be ready….our Armed Forces must be capable of securing and defending archipelago from emerging threats," President Ferdinand Marcos Jr said at oath-taking of newly promoted generals and flag officers of Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), led by chief of staff Gen. Romeo Brawner Jr., at Ceremonial Hall of Malacañang.ordered military to be always ready to defend country against "emerging threats," saying there is no room for complacency even in face of "encouraging developments" in local security situation.
He emphasized need for AFP to be more agile, flexible and responsive to better address emerging issues confronting the nation.
"You must not only anticipate but you must also be ready to adapt and respond to emerging national security and defense realities that exist in our country and in our region, while it is noteworthy that we see positive and encouraging developments in terms of our internal security situation, there remains much to be done, we must maintain our vigilance and guard against those actors whatever nature or form they may take who would threaten and jeopardize peace we have striven and fought for all these many years," he said.
Among those present during oath-taking were Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin and Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro.
FMJ also urged AFP to ensure communities once beset by conflict continue to benefit from gains of peace and government's numerous development interventions.
"For progress of our nation and welfare of our people are underpinned by peace and stability, security of our communities," he said.
FMJ also called on military to further enhance joint planning and operations to ensure interoperability across all units and platforms as well as to sustain and foster greater collaboration with other government agencies and civil society groups in coming up with innovative, effective, efficient solutions to challenges that stand in way of achieving peace and unity.
At media forum earlier, National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC) director Jose Descallar said government is winning war against insurgents and it sees strategic victory soon.
NTF-ELCAC official said task force was confronting 89 guerrilla fronts when it was established in 2018. Today, there are only 20 guerrilla fronts in existence, it said.
FMJ earlier issued Memorandum Circular 37, ordering concerned government agencies, government-owned or controlled corporations and local government units to hasten implementation of strategies to combat money laundering and terrorism financing in the country.
Paris-based Financial Action Task Force's International Co-operation Review Group has retained Philippines on its gray list this year due to country's failure to adequately address money laundering as well as terrorist financing.
