PRESIDENT Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Friday told the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) to be ready to secure and defend the country from 'emerging threats' following United States' (US) 'ironclad' commitment to protect the Philippines against China.

In his speech during the oathtaking of the newly-promoted military officials in Malacañang, the President urged them 'to enhance joint planning and operations to ensure interoperability across all AFP units and platforms.' 'For the progress of our nation and the welfare of our people are underpinned by the peace and the stability, the security of our communities,' Marcos said.

Our Armed Forces must be capable of securing and defending the archipelago from emerging threats,' he added.Marcos' statement came after US President Joe Biden warned China that the US would be forced to intervene if Beijing attacks Philippine vessels in the South China Sea, after two separate collisions in the disputed waterway over the weekend.
