The President of the Republic has called the Armed Forces of the
Philippines (AFP) and the Philippine National Police (PNP) and they have heeded
the call of their Commander in Chief.
AFP Spokesperson Brig. Gen. Edgard Arevalo dismissed the
President’s statement as “random.”
“We have, time and again assured him, as we reassure him today,
that we in the AFP shall constantly and will remain loyal to the flag, to the
Constitution, and to the Filipino people whom we swore to protect with our
lives,” he said in a statement.

matured servicemen and women who are patriots and loyal to the constitution and
the duly constituted authorities. We have learned our lessons from the past and
we shall live with it,” he also said.
