The Chief of Staff, AFP (CSAFP), Lt. Gen. Bartolome Vicente O Bacarro, visited the sailors and marines at the Philippine Navy Headquarters in Roxas Boulevard on Thursday, August 25.
In his talk to troops, the CSAFP reiterated the Commander-in-Chief's emphasis on safeguarding the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
"It is imperative that we must continue to protect, defend, and secure the country's maritime and air domain against all foreign intrusions," Lt. Gen. Bacarro said, highlighting the Navy's crucial role in conducting sustained naval and maritime operations to accomplish the AFP mission of protecting the people and securing the state.
