The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) has identified foreign security threats as a growing concern, citing activities such as cyberattacks, transnational crimes, and maritime incursions.
AFP spokesperson Colonel Medel Aguilar emphasized the importance of enhancing the country’s defense capabilities to address these evolving challenges effectively.
Aguilar pointed out that regional tensions, particularly in the West Philippine Sea, demand a more robust and strategic response.
The AFP is working closely with allied nations to bolster cybersecurity and maritime security measures.
This development underscores the need for continued vigilance and investment in modernizing the country’s defense systems.
