NEW Armed Forces of the Philippines Chief of Staff Gilbert Gapay on Monday, August 3, 2020, vowed that the military will prioritize the implementation of the recently passed Anti-Terrorism Act of 2020 despite the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic.

"That's why we need to have specific provisions in the IRR pertaining to regulating the use of social media and, of course, likewise regulating materials in the manufacture of IEDs," he added. Gapay, meanwhile, said territorial disputes especially in the West Philippine Sea will be dealt with in accordance to the rule of law “without undermining the country’s national interest.”

Gapay said he expects the good relationship of the Philippines with China to continue despite the territorial dispute.
