AFP Statement on Loyalty to the Constitution

AFP Statement on Loyalty to the Constitution

The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) is firm in its resolve to be loyal to the Constitution and the duly constituted authorities.

The 145,000-strong soldiers, airmen, sailors, and marines of the AFP stand solid behind the chain-of-command.

It is our responsibility to uphold integrity as we execute our duty to serve the nation.

While the AFP respects the people’s freedom of expression, we do not and will not support extra legal means outside the constitution which we have sworn to protect including the sanctity of the electoral process.

We continuously remind our troops to adhere to the rule of law and always obey the chain of command, whoever is seated as the Commander-in-Chief.

The Armed Forces will remain a professional organization that will not engage in partisan politics and will at all times put the interest of the nation before personal views and opinions.///
