00:00The challenges demand greater adaptability, greater discipline, and further commitment
00:27to the nation's security and progress.
00:31And yet, through all this, the Philippine Army has never wavered.
00:57When peace and order are in place, we can pursue knowledge, we can work towards prosperity,
01:07and we can contribute to our country's progress.
01:10To achieve this, the government must lead by example.
01:14We strive for a government that listens, that acts and serves with integrity.
01:20That is the only way to rise above adversities and move forward as a people.
01:25According to the President, the Philippine Army must also strengthen its ability to face new challenges.
01:31The true measure is the readiness to put aside one's own interests for a higher goal.
01:40Although we are different in the role we play,
01:44we must build our country to form a more united, more capable, and truly peaceful nation.
01:55The President also agreed to the benefits of the AFP officers and personnel,
01:59such as the increase in their subsistence allowance.
02:02The Philippine Army is ensuring that they are ready to defend the country and protect our sovereignty
02:08from all threats, whether inside or outside the country.
02:12The Defense Department also promised that the armed forces will remain strong in the law.
02:17It has never been unsolid, and I have no reason to doubt that they will remain professional
02:24and they will follow their duty according to the Constitution, and civilian supremacy remains.
