Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, December 21) President Rodrigo Duterte paid tribute to soldiers at the 85th anniversary ceremonies of the Armed Forces of the Philippines on Monday, saying they have been instrumental in the fight against the pandemic, as well as the numerous calamites the country faced this year.
In a prepared virtual speech, the President said despite their efforts, the AFP must step up even further. The trials we faced this year underscored the need to make the AFP even more responsive to the most challenging of situations. I therefore reiterate my unyielding commitment to pursue the full implementation of the AFP Modernization Program, he said.
