From the Philippine News Agency (Dec 19): Latest AFP campaign plan aims to defeat all PHL security threats

The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP)'s latest campaign plan is aimed at defeating the country's various security threats.

This was disclosed by AFP public affairs office chief Col. Edgard Arevalo in an interview Sunday.

Arevalo decline to give the exact name of the new campaign plan which will replace the expiring Internal Peace and Security Plan "Bayanihan," adding that it will be formally announced this coming AFP Foundation Day this Dec. 21.

"In a nutshell, we can say the new AFP campaign plan is about the military possible role in nation building and defeating the enemies of the state or threats to national security," he stressed.

"Bayanihan" refers aims to “provide the strategic guidance in the performance of (the AFP’s) mandated functions of protecting the state and the people. It shall help AFP units in planning for and contributing to the attainment of internal peace and security.”

It was first implemented on Dec. 22, 2010 and is scheduled to end this year.
