The President also called on the public to always
support the country’s soldiers as they risked their lives in making sure
everybody can sleep soundly at night.
“If there is
[disorder], they establish order. If there is a lawless environment, they
provide stability. Ang sundalo natin, (Our soldiers) they are
everything and that is why you should love your soldier. Tayong mga
Pilipino, tulungan natin (Us Filipinos, should help them),” Duterte said.
“The dependability
and reliability of the AFP have been recently tested after the series of
earthquakes that rocked Mindanao and the storm and flooding that inundated
[parts] of Luzon and in some areas in the Visayas. Know that for your selfless
service during these times of need, the entire nation will be grateful,” he
added.
He reminds the AFP to remain committed in their duty
as the primary source in ensuring there will be peace across the country.
“The Filipino people will continue to count on you,
each one of you, to remain steadfast in your noble mission to defend our
sovereignty and maintain peace in our communities and you should not fail,” he
added.
The President in the last half of his term made a
promise to the AFP that they will have his “unqualified support” as the government
is fast tracking the much needed modernization to address threats to national
security.
