00:00 The Philippine Armed Forces also promised to fight back even in cyber attacks.
00:06 The FAA leader announced the anniversary of the Philippine Army.
00:11 And even though it was not easy, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. greeted the soldiers.
00:19 Kenneth Paciente is in the center of the news.
00:24 President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. greeted the Philippine Army members
00:30 on the occasion of the 127th anniversary of the Philippine Army.
00:35 In response to the President's letter from Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro,
00:39 the President recognized the dedication of the soldiers to their sworn duty
00:43 to ensure peace in the country.
00:46 Not only the external defense is being targeted by the Army,
00:50 but their internal defense is also being strengthened.
00:53 I give my snappiest salute to the Philippine Army's officers,
00:59 enlisted personnel, civilian employees,
01:03 as well as our partners and force multipliers in our communities
01:10 for the significant roles you play in the accomplishment of the Army's mission.
01:18 Thank you for your service to our country, which you have enthusiastically rendered
01:25 without expecting any prize or reward in return.
01:29 The President also recognized Lieutenant General Roy Galido,
01:35 the Philippine Army's commanding general, for his leadership in pushing for change within the Army,
01:40 as well as for the morale of the soldiers to rise
01:43 and for their capabilities to be strengthened through their trainings.
01:47 As we march onward to the new Philippines that we aspire for,
01:53 we need to transform our Army into a multi-mission ready,
01:58 cross-domain, and capable force that can effectively thwart
02:04 emerging threats to our country's stability and sovereignty.
02:10 At the same time, the Executive Board of the Army also encouraged
02:13 the Philippine Army to strengthen its commitment to the fight against cyber threats.
02:18 I urge the Philippine Army to bolster its cyber security capabilities,
02:23 to keep up with the rapid technological advancements,
02:27 and help maintain the country's security and stability.
02:32 Something that the AFP is now pushing for.
02:35 According to AFP Chief of Staff General Romeo Browner,
02:38 the Armed Forces of the Philippines is now focused on strengthening its cyber defense and cyber warfare capabilities.
02:44 We can fight in the cyber domain even with just a laptop.
02:50 Or even with a cell phone, we can fight.
02:54 And we know that Filipinos are good at cyber.
02:59 So we are going to harness that competence, that skill of the Filipinos,
03:06 in order for us to develop a highly competent and capable cyber warrior.
03:13 The AFP has also been able to recruit additional personnel who are skilled in the cyber domain.
03:19 They don't need to be very good, because we will train them also in cyber defense,
03:26 both passive and active defense.
03:29 The Philippine Army has increased its assets to their 127th anniversary today,
03:35 including artillery assets, armored trucks, helicopters, and others.
03:40 The soldiers' capabilities include mass jump and military free fall.
03:45 They are also good at using the ARNIS, which according to the AFP, will be taught in the Navy and Air Force.
03:53 Your 127-year-old army is and will be committed
04:01 to continuous learning and development,
04:05 especially in our training and education, to adapt to the new security challenges.
