THE chief of the Armed Forces of the Philippines Intelligence Command, Lt. Gen. Ferdinand Barandon, on Wednesday raised the need to address the prevailing threats to national security, such as reported foreign interference.'We see foreign intelligence entities, as well as foreign entities that have been operating within our country, should be prioritized because they endanger not only the vital installations but the overall socioeconomic activities within the Philippines,' Barandon said.
He also reminded the ATC that their duties go beyond neutralizing terrorist threats to preventing them altogether.'By implementing programs that prevent and counter violent extremism, we address the roots of radicalization and foster trust within our own communities,' he said.Also on Wednesday, the president urged the 36 newly promoted generals and flag officers of the AFP to stand with the troops, for the Constitution, and for the Filipino people amid the ongoing political tension.
