01:13Our soldiers are now professionals.
01:16Many experiences have happened
01:20that at the end of the day, it is the soldiers
01:25and not only the soldiers themselves,
01:28but also the families of the soldiers
01:32who are using their own personalities.
01:38They explained that there are many times
01:41when the politics of the soldiers is not good for them
01:46and also for their families.
01:48We will remain non-partisan.
01:51We will just follow the guidance of our AFP leadership.

02:09have a great influence as the so-called father of the enlisted personnel.
02:15So we trust them, and at the same time,
02:18they take cue from the chain of command as well.

02:24non-partisan, and will never be used by the politicians.
