Military officials and defense scholars could not be more crucial in the Philippines’ defense against growing cyberattacks and misinformation campaigns on the West Philippine Sea.
Senate President Pro Tempore Jinggoy Estrada stressed this point as he addressed newly-promoted general and flag officers of the Armed Forces of the Philippines in an event hosted by the National Defense College of the Philippines Alumni Association, Inc. .
“Other equally distressing concerns persist. These include cybersecurity threats, which expose the country to cyber-attacks that can disrupt critical services and compromise sensitive data,” Estrada said in his speech. “In her paper, Castillo said ‘the growing tension between the Philippines and China is reflected in cyberspace, where cyber espionage, cyber attacks, and malign information operations are widespread,’” said Estrada.
With this, Estrada lauded the NDCP for playing “a pivotal role in the training of leaders responsible for safeguarding our nation’s security.”
