presenting them with a military force, we are presenting them with other options, we are presenting them with a life after their life as rebels.
00:10.4
And that I think has become the reason why we have slowly succeeded in the so-called whole of society, whole of nation approach
00:20.2
in terms of our dealings with these groups that originally would like to bring down the government by armed struggle.
00:31.6
And now I think even although they technically have not abandoned the concept of armed struggle,
00:42.4
I think the efforts of those dissidents have been redirected in another way.
00:54.5
And that's why your role as the Philippine military continues to be as war fighters,
01:02.4
but now there is the additional mission that we are asking of you to be peacemakers.
01:09.4
That is the only way that we can move forward.
01:12.4
Now also beyond the internal threats that we are facing, what is becoming more complicated and more difficult are the external threats that we are facing.
01:28.6
And with the geographical location of the 9th ID, you can see that it is very close to some of the disputed areas
01:39.5
where different ships enter, we also need to monitor that.
01:45.4
So this is another new mission of yours.
01:49.3
So we have to have a sophisticated and well-trained military.
01:56.9
And I can say that we have been working very hard to do that.
02:00.9
I think I am accurate when I describe our military today as being as capable and as well-prepared as we have ever had.
02:15.7
For a long while, we have not been developing the capabilities of our military.
02:22.4
We are lacking in equipment.
02:24.7
Now, all of that has changed.
02:26.7
And we in the civilian government are determined to make sure that when we ask you to do your duty,
02:36.7
that then you are fully prepared, you are fully trained, and you are complete in the equipment that you need to fulfill that mission.
02:45.7
So as I said during the command conference very quickly earlier, I see that the actions here, the violent instances of encounters, etc., have slowly come down.
03:06.1
And looking at that, all I can say is that once again, I have always said that of all the sectors of society, it is only the military that has never let the Filipino down.
03:25.1
So keep up the good work, continue your service, we expect you all, and you have no experience of not fulfilling your duty and not fulfilling your mission.
03:41.8
Thank you very much. Good afternoon.
03:43.8
And thank you to you all.
03:45.8
Thank you, Mr. President.
03:49.8
And now, may we request our President to grant us with a photo opportunity with the troops.
04:19.8
Thank you very much.
