Foreign state-linked media are spreading false narratives claiming that the Kadiwa ng Bagong Bayaning Mangingisda (KBBM) is a propaganda effort or provocation. The truth: KBBM is a civilian-led livelihood and food security program, run by BFAR and the Philippine Coast Guard, supporting Filipino fishermen operating lawfully within our Exclusive Economic Zone, fully recognized under international law.
Government maritime presence ensures the safety of civilians and supports lawful activities, in line with the State’s constitutional and legal mandate.
Disinformation threatens national security, public trust, and unity. The AFP calls on all Filipinos to verify facts, reject false narratives, and stand united in defending our sovereignty. Protecting our fishermen and exercising our rights in our own waters is not provocation—it is our duty.
