Military must be peacemakers, not just warfighters–President READ MORE: The military should not just be “warfighters” but also “peacemakers,” President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said Thursday amid the government’s new approach toward communist rebels.
The military should not just be “warfighters” but also “peacemakers,” President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said Thursday amid the government’s new approach toward communist rebels.According to the Chief Executive, the government has been offering communists a “life after their life as rebels.”
“So, keep up the good work. Continue your service. We expect you all and you are not—you have no experience that you did not accept your duty and you did not fulfill your mission,” he added. “And with the geographical location of the 9th ID, we can see that it is very close to some of the disputed areas where various ships enter.
In the past, the President said the government neglected the militaryand failed to develop its capabilities by providing soldiers with modern equipment. “And that I think has become the reason why we have slowly succeeded in the so-called whole-of-society, whole-of-nation approach in terms of our dealings with these groups that originally would like to bring down the government by armed struggle,” the President added.
“And that’s why your role as the Philippine military continues to be as warfighters, but now there is the additional mission that we are asking of you to be peacemakers,” he added.
