00:21The Armed Forces of the Philippines will not be trusted
00:24This is accompanied by the 56th anniversary of the CPP-NPA.
00:30This is even though the force of the group has weakened
00:33where from the previous 7 weekend guerrilla fronts, only one is left.
00:38This is also the result of a more intensive military operation.
00:41Following the directive of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.
00:45to end the problem of insurgency until the end of the year.
00:49The whole-of-government approach also helped.
00:52Especially, the territorial defense needs to be focused now.
00:56The meaning of this weekend guerrilla front, sir,
00:59they don't have the capability to conduct a big operation.
01:03They don't have enough resources and they can't recruit new members to join their force.
01:11As I said, we will not be trusted.
01:14We have been doing this for years, sir.
01:18What we normally do in these instances,
01:21we still have forces that are detailed to look into all of these instances.
01:29And whatever comes out of our intelligence gathering,
01:34we will investigate it with the right attention.
01:37Meanwhile, the AFP promised that they will not destroy the trust of the public.
01:43Especially, their 89th anniversary is coming.
01:47And before, the AFP assured that they will remain professional
01:52despite their political activities.
01:54The AFP also acknowledged the efforts of each soldier.
01:58We saw that many typhoons passed by.
02:00We will continue our work.
02:02We also faced a lot here in the West Philippine Sea issue.
02:06And we acknowledge the efforts of our soldiers here.
02:10For our countrymen, rest assured.
02:13We value the trust that you gave to the AFP.
