MANILA – President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. has emphasized the need for the Philippines to be prepared for “any eventuality” amid what he described as “more pronounced” and “more worrisome” external threats in the region heightened by geopolitical issues, including the flaring tensions between China and Taiwan.

Marcos, in his visit to the Philippine Army’s 5th Infantry Division at Camp Melchor dela Cruz in Gamu, Isabela on Monday, said the Philippines’ “proximity to Taiwan puts it in China’s area of interest,” highlighting the importance of the northern part of the country to be “well-prepared for any eventuality.”

“And that is why --- the external threat now has become more pronounced, has become more worrisome. And that is why we have to prepare,” Marcos said as quoted by the Presidential Communications Office (PCO) in a news release.

“So, that is the mission that you have before you. Now, you have two missions, whereas before it was only internal security,” he added.

The President, however, clarified that the Philippines would not take territories and would only defend its own while engaging in various efforts to maintain peace in the region through continued diplomacy.

“We are not trying to take territory. We are not trying to redraw the lines of sovereign territory, the EEZ (Exclusive Economic Zone), the baseline,” the President said.

“Hindi natin binabago anything na kahit isang --- not even one inch. Ngunit hindi tayo puwedeng pumayag na kukunin naman 'yan sa atin (We’re not changing anything, not even one inch. But we will not also allow that our territory to be taken from us),” he added.

This changing geopolitical landscape and emerging new threats, according to the President, prompted the government to include Cagayan as a site for the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (EDCA) with the United States, the country’s closest military ally.

China has recently increased military activities near Taiwan after it swore in a new leader. It considers the self-ruled Taiwan as a breakaway province.

Internal security

Marcos said the 5th ID’s mission now includes territorial defense from external threats, on top of the existing internal security concern brought by the communist terrorist group (CTG).

Among the current domestic security threats are the Ilocos-Cordillera Regional Committee (ICRC) and Komiteng Rehiyon Cagayan Valley (KRCV) groups.

The provinces of Quirino and Nueva Vizcaya were declared insurgency-free on Oct. 10, 2022 and Dec. 18, 2023, respectively, as well as other parts of Isabela.

Government forces dismantled four CTG operating units: two KRCV (September 2022); one KRCV and one Komiteng Larangan Guerilla-ICRC in December last year.

Resolute in defending PH

Ahead of the country’s 126th Independence Day, Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) chief Gen. Romeo Brawner Jr. on Tuesday said the military remains resolute in its mandate to protect the country against security threats.

"As one sovereign nation, established by the steadfast perseverance of our predecessors, we shall remain resolute in upholding our pledge to public service, loyalty, and solidarity for the country, our people, and the flag,” Brawner said in his message for the occasion.

He also added that patriotism and unity remain the military’s strength in fulfilling its commitment to building a “strong Philippines” for future generations. (with Priam Nepomuceno/PNA)

Number of Chinese warships in WPS up


THE number of Chinese warships in the West Philippine Sea (WPS) has increased, but it is still within acceptable limits, the Philippine Navy (PN) said Wednesday.

Based on monitoring from June 4 to 10, a total of 146 Chinese ships were sighted in various areas in the West Philippine Sea, 22 of which were believed to be Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) warships, said Commo. Roy Vincent Trinidad.

The figures are considerably higher compared to the 125 Chinese vessels spotted from May 28 to June 3, of which nine ships were from the PLAN.

"I believe [the increase of Chinese ships in Escoda Shoal] is on account of the exercises [conducted by the PLAN] last June 2, 3 and 4," Trinidad said during a public briefing.

Trinidad said looking at the strength and capability of the PLAN's South Sea Fleet, the increase in the number of Chinese warships in the area "is still not alarming."

"It is well within the capability of the South Sea Fleet. What will be concerning is when there will be other naval forces coming from their other fleets, the East Sea Fleet or the North Sea fleet, but so far, the increase in numbers is still within our acceptable limits," Trinidad said.

He said the South Sea Fleet could muster around 75 to 80 ships and submarines.

If their maintenance, repair and deployment throughout the maritime South China Sea are factored in, "we could get a ballpark figure of how many they can surge to our exclusive economic zone," Trinidad said.

"This is already an increase; most likely, some of it came from other parts of the South China Sea because of the recent exercises conducted in Sabina (Escoda) Shoal," he said.

Meanwhile, a national political party on Wednesday urged government leaders to increase diplomatic efforts to decrease the possibility of a conflict with China over the South China Sea.

In a statement issued on Independence Day, Carlos Valdes, Katipunan ng Demokratikong Pilipino president, also called on foreign countries to exclude the Philippines from their political maneuverings and instead "engage Filipinos as equals, promote dialogue, make peace and respect the country's Constitution as a sovereign republic."

"We call on Malacañang to be transparent in its agreements, especially with regards to the arms build-up couched in the [the Philippine-United States Enhanced Defense Coop[ration Agreement], and trust in the Filipinos' collective sovereign will," Valdes said.

He also urged Asean member states and "those who value the inalienable rights to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, to echo our calls for a de-escalation of war tensions and to vigorously promote cooperation among nations."

Duterte to sue police over Quiboloy arrest try

 MANILA, Philippines — Former president Rodrigo Duterte said he would file charges against the Philippine National Police (PNP) over the Monday raid on the Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KoJC) compound in Davao City.

In a statement on Friday, Duterte -- a staunch supporter of the preacher -- called the PNP-Special Action Force (SAF) and the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group's (CIDG) raid to arrest Quiboloy, an "overkill in any language" and a "clear violation of the law."

"Except for the over-publicized arrest warrants, the raiders did not present any search warrant in all of the church properties [they raided]," the former president said.

Duterte, who serves as the administrator of church properties, said he would take "legal and appropriate action" against the police over what he called a "day of infamy" to the church's members and to "all citizens who uphold the rule of law."

"While I am saddened by this, given my personal, and in the past, official, support for the police and the Armed Forces of the Philippines, my duties as Administrator of Church Properties demand that I take legal and appropriate action," he said.

"In line with this, I have ordered not only the preparation of affidavits of all members aggrieved and traumatized by the said unfortunate incident but also an inventory of church properties destroyed as a consequence," he added.

Duterte said that it was unfortunate that the administration of his successor, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., is obsessed with demonizing Quiboloy, who has always supported the former chief executive, is a "clear maneuver" in diverting attention from other issues in the country, particularly corruption, incompetence and abuse of authority.

Police operatives on Monday raided the KoJC compound, armed with a warrant for the arrest of Quiboloy, who is wanted in the United States for labor and sexual trafficking.

Roma, laboratorio clandestino per fabbricazione di armi: arrestato cubano

Roma, laboratorio clandestino per la fabbricazione di armi

I Carabinieri della Stazione di Roma Settecamini e quelli del Nucleo Operativo della Compagnia di Tivoli hanno arrestato un 21enne, di origine cubana ma domiciliato nel quartiere Ponte di Nona, gravemente indiziato dei reati di detenzione illegale di armi e munizionamento, fabbricazione illegale di armi e di munizioni. I militari hanno eseguito una perquisizione domiciliare a casa dell’indagato, scoprendo un laboratorio per la fabbricazione clandestina di armi e munizioni.

In particolare, i Carabinieri hanno trovato un revolver con all’interno proiettili sotto il cuscino del letto del giovane. Mentre in cantina hanno rinvenuto un pericoloso fucile mitragliatore totalmente artigianale, una pistola riverniciata con la matricola parzialmente abrasa, una pistola scaccia-cani e una pistola a forma di penna.

Oltre alle armi, i Carabinieri hanno poi sequestrato numerosi materiali e strumenti di precisione, quali tornio, seghe e attrezzi, necessari per produrre armi, nonché diversi appunti manoscritti con progetti di fabbricazione, redatti dal giovane. Gli investigatori hanno trovato anche due lacrimogeni artigianali di grandi dimensioni, nonché polvere da sparo e tutto il materiale per produrre artifizi pirotecnici ed ordigni di specie pericolosa. Il materiale è stato messo in sicurezza e sequestrato insieme a 100 cartucce artigianalmente prodotte e 20 grammi di hashish. (ITALPRESS)
