President Marcos urged newly promoted AFP generals and flag officers to lead with integrity and protect public resources during their oath-taking at Malacañang.
He emphasized that the military’s role extends beyond national defense to being faithful stewards of government funds, ensuring every peso contributes to capability and preparedness.
The reminder comes amid investigations into multibillion-peso anomalous flood control projects.
Marcos also highlighted his administration’s support for uniformed personnel, citing the P6.793-trillion national budget and recent pay and allowance increases.
He called on the officers to exercise sharper judgment and steady leadership amid complex threats and rising security concerns.
