President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. called on the SFRA of the Philippine Army to continue supporting the Filipino people in times of crisis as he assured them of his commitment to strengthen its capabilities and ensure their welfare and their families.
“Extensively trained in unconventional warfare [and] equipped with various tools and capabilities, the members of the SFRA have proven themselves valuable in both wartime and peacetime operations,” he said.
The President recalled the March 2023 incident where the SFRA’s fourth Special Forces Battalion in Isabela City, Basilan, rescued 316 individuals from a burning passenger marine vessel of Aleson Shipping Lines bound for Jolo port in Sulu. In his speech, Marcos said the government, through the Armed Forces of the Philippines, has adopted the Riverine Operations Equipment Project to further improve the capabilities of the SFRA in riverine operations, referring to the insertion and extraction of special forces troops for rescue and other special military operations.
