President Marcos has ordered the military to be always ready to defend the country against “emerging threats,” saying there is no room for complacency even in the face of “encouraging developments” in the local security situation.

“We must be ready. Our Armed Forces must be capable of securing and defending the archipelago from emerging threats,” Marcos said yesterday at the oath-taking of newly promoted generals and flag officers of the Armed Forces of the Philippines , led by chief of staff Gen. Romeo Brawner Jr., at the Ceremonial Hall of Malacañang.

“While it is noteworthy that we see positive and encouraging developments in terms of our internal security situation, there remains much to be done,” the commander-in-chief said. The President also urged the AFP to ensure that communities once beset by conflict continue to benefit from the gains of peace and the government’s numerous development interventions.

At a media forum last month, National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict director Jose Descallar said the government is winning the war against the insurgents and it sees a strategic victory soon. The Paris-based Financial Action Task Force’s International Co-operation Review Group has retained the Philippines on its gray list this year due to the country’s failure to adequately address money laundering as well as terrorist financing.Sleep advocates Heart Evangelista, Saab Magalona, LA Aguinaldo share tips for resting on timePhilippines’ first premium bed cinema to open in Uptown Bonifacio“The morning of October 7th was a very dark hour for humanity.
