AFP: Monitoring West Philippine Sea
“The Armed Forces of the Philippines
(AFP) is not blind to the alarming
developments in the West Philippine Sea
and some field reports reaching the office
of AFP Chief of Staff, Gen. Carlito Galvez
Jr. are deliberately withheld from the
public. Also, the AFP is being careful on
making any statements, so as not to further
stir tensions in the region."

Philippines - A top military official on
Monday lamented the inadequate
support of the government to Filipino
trawlers fishing in the West Philippine
Sea, noting that the country is losing
billions-worth of resources in the area
annually. During a confirmation
hearing by a panel of the Commission
on Appointments on Monday, AFP
Southern Luzon Command chief Lt.
Gen. Antonio Parlade Jr. cited the lack
of maritime or fishery policies that
could back Filipino fishermen in the
West Philippine Sea.

defenders of peace and security, the AFP
is one with the Filipinos as we rise as one
nation from the devastation brought by
Typhoon Ulysses,” AFP chief-of-staff
General Gilbert Gapay said in a statement
Friday. The number of rescued persons
can be broken down into 2,716 in the
National Capital Region (NCR), Rizal
