00:00 The 1.4 million reservists of the country are ready to protect our territory according to the AFP.
00:06 In the opening of the 44th National Reservist Week in Camp Aguinaldo earlier,
00:11 the reservists gave a very important role in helping and responding in times of calamity and crisis.
00:18 Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro also said that the current design of the AFP's Reserve Force Paradigm is outdated.
00:27 It needs to be updated to be able to cope with the new threats of the modern times.
00:33 The AFP is open to the plan to join the regular and reserve force of the country.
00:39 This time we are facing more challenges that are global in nature.
00:47 So what we are doing is that not only the reserve force is being given attention in terms of reorganization,
00:55 but also the regular force.
00:58 We want to develop our total force.
