00:00The AFP continued to strengthen the territorial defense of the country under the AFP Modernization Program.
00:08Aside from the campaign against disinformation and targeting of internal threats,
00:14the center of the...
00:21Audrey, look forward to the new equipment for the Armed Forces of the Philippines
00:27under the AFP Modernization Program.
00:31Remember, at the beginning of the year,
00:34President Ferdinand Armacos Jr. approved the Re-Horizon 3 of the AFP Modernization Program.
00:42In the Presona Edition of Bagong Pilipinas Ngayon,
00:45AFP Chief of Staff General Romeo Browner Jr. said
00:50that this is a great help in strengthening the territorial defense of the country.
00:55This is in line with the comprehensive archipelagic defense concept of the Armed Forces.
01:01Browner said, as part of strengthening the radar systems, surveillance system, and sensors of the country,
01:08along with improving the addition of ships and aircraft.
01:16Let's say there was an invasion,
01:18our radar systems were detected,
01:20we need to reinforce our defenses.
01:24We have missile systems.
01:26We can use our missile systems.
01:28In fact, we are happy because our missile systems have arrived.
01:33And many more will arrive.
01:38This is in line with the AFP's fight against disinformation about the West Philippine Sea.
01:46Browner said, the public should be careful.
01:52We need to be alert.
01:54Let's be vigilant.
01:55And our countermeasure here is the truth.
02:00We counter fake news with the truth.
02:05In spite of the focus on external defense,
02:09Browner insisted that internal threats against local terrorist and communist terrorist groups should not be neglected.
02:18This group continued to weaken,
02:21where many of their members have returned to the government.
02:29Since our President became the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Philippines,
02:39our operations against communist terrorist groups and local terrorists have been continuous.
02:46This is a good result.
02:48In fact, out of the 11 guerrilla fronts that we have confronted since the start of the presidency of President Marcos,
03:01only 7 remain.
03:03We have dismantled 4 guerrilla fronts.
03:10Browner also emphasized that insurgency-free areas and communities in the country,
03:17especially in Mindanao, are important.
03:19The concept of a whole-of-government approach is a big deal here.
03:26Okay, Patrick, these defense assets that will be acquired and bought,
03:31you said that many will arrive.
03:33Will the public have a chance to see this, that our Armed Forces are using?
03:43Audrey, many of the assets of the Armed Forces of the Philippines are deployed in different parts of the country,
03:51especially in the West Philippine Sea,
03:54to protect our sovereign rights within the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines.
04:01I would also like to add, Audrey,
04:03I expect that one of my new ships will be the BRP Miguel Malvar,
04:09which was launched in South Korea.
04:12Audrey.
04:13Thank you very much, Patrick de Jesus.
