CAMP AGUINALDO, Quezon City -- In view of the imminent threat posed by Super Typhoon “Uwan,” the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) temporarily suspends all scheduled Field Training Exercises (FTX) under the AFP Joint Exercise (AJEX) DAGIT-PA 09-2025.
This critical decision is made to immediately redirect the focus and assets of the AFP's participating forces towards Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Response (HADR) operations.
The exercise, which began on November 4 and was scheduled to run until November 14, 2025, included three major events: Command and Control (C2), Cyber Defense Exercise (CYDEX), and the FTX. The suspension specifically targets the field maneuvers in the Northern Luzon Command (NOLCOM) and Western Command (WESCOM) Joint Area of Operations (JAO).
The priority and resources of all personnel, including approximately 2,000 troops, are now fully devoted to pre-disaster preparedness and rapid response in affected areas. The AFP assures the public that this immediate shift is a testament to our highest commitment: the safety and well-being of our citizens.///
