Global
terrorism is already upon us, that is why its only fitting that our Armed
Forces of the Philippines (AFP) must no longer delay its much awaited
modernization and counter-terrorism efforts.
AFP
public affairs office chief, Col. Noel Detoyato, when
asked to comment on President Rodrigo Roa Duterte’s announcements that he wants
to leave a credible and modern Philippine military and police for “dangerous
times ahead” in the Philippines.
“I
hope that Congress would tide us over to complete the instruments that we need
in dealing, especially with terrorism,” the Chief Executive added.

“This
is the reason why the AFP is doubling its efforts in implementing the AFP
modernization and it’s counterterrorism operations in the south. The face of
global terrorism is ever changing and so we have to keep up with the pace,”
Detoyato said to Philippine News Agency (PNA).
Detoyato also said that
the AFP is taking advantage of the support they have been receiving from
Malacanang in order to equip themselves and make the organization more than
able to perform its constitutional mandate.
“We have to take
advantage of the support being initiated by our Commander-in-Chief by doubling
our efforts in transforming the AFP while performing our mandate,” he pointed
out.
The war on terror is
something the country should acknowledge that truly exist and the country must
equip itself for the future Filipinos not yet born.
“The challenge of the
future war on terror should be addressed now. With the support of the
government led by our President and the overwhelming support of the majority of
the Filipinos to his leadership we are confident that we can face this
‘dangerous times’ ahead,” Detoyato said.
