Amid destabilization rumors, President Marcos has reminded the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) that their loyalty must remain with the republic, and not to any individual or faction.
00:00You are now part of a new generation of soldiers who must think fast, act smart, work closely with others, whether within our ranks or with partners abroad.
00:11More than this, the AFP that you are part of now must always rise above politics.
00:18Your loyalty must not be for any individual or any faction, but only to the Republic.
00:25The time and effort that you have spent in this course has taught you that by becoming full-fledged officers, your integrity is carried in your uniform and rank.
00:37Sa panahon ngayon, kung kailan maraming Pilipino ang nangangailangan ng katapatan at katapangan at katapangan sa servisyo, kayo ang unang magiging halimbawa sa kanilang lahat.
00:50As your Commander-in-Chief, I promise that this government remains committed to building a modern and professional armed force.
01:00Ladies and gentlemen, graduates, wherever you may be assigned, on land, at sea, in the air, remember that your mission will go beyond completing missions.
01:12Ultimately, it will be about maintaining peace and building a nation.
01:19There will come a time when you will rescue families during floods and earthquakes, secure elections, support government programs that bring service to the most far-flung areas of our country.
01:31There will be moments when your integrity will be tested.
01:35Corruption and dishonesty can manifest in many forms.
01:39Kaya piliin niyo lagi ang tama, piliin niyo ang bayan, piliin niyo ang katapatan at ang kapayapaan.
01:48As you take your oaths and wear your insignias, carry with you the pride of your families and the hope of the motherland.
