Marcos Jr. urges AFP generals to combat disinformation and radicalization

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. urged newly promoted Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) generals and officers to "hold the line" against domestic threats like disinformation campaigns and ideological radicalization that aim to cause confusion and division.

Marcos emphasized the indispensable role of the AFP in confronting these threats with resolve, clarity, and loyalty to their constitutional duty.

The President assured the AFP of his support as Commander-in-Chief, standing with them in every trial and mission for the republic.

This directive comes as the AFP has recently refuted rumors of plots against the government, which emerged amid public anger over alleged corruption in flood control projects.
