CAMP AGUINALDO, Quezon City - The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) together with other government agencies joined the local Social Welfare Development Office in distributing relief goods and assisting residents affected by Typhoon Neneng and Tropical Storm Maymay that hit Northern Luzon last week.

A total of 370 DSWD food packs were distributed by the Philippine Army's 77th Infantry Battalion and other government agencies to the typhoon-affected families in Barangay Alba, San Miguel, and Taytay Baggao, Cagayan on October 16, 2022.

The Armed Forces of the Philippines shares the honor and glory of saluting all our heroes who helped liberate the City of Marawi from the clutches of terrorism, five years ago. Their service and sacrifice serve as a legacy that will live on forever in the hearts and minds of the Filipino people.

We owe it to the valiant and courageous men and women in uniform who fought the Maute terrorist group so that we could still fly freely the Philippine Flag over Marawi City.

With the new school year kicking off, the AFP Educational Benefit System (AFPEBS) reported an estimated total of 5,000 graduates from S.Y. 2000-2021 and more than 3,000 continuing grantees for 2022, who are mostly dependents of killed-in-action military personnel.

Several AFPEBSO grantees nationwide completed their education and are now pursuing careers in different fields. Some grantees also opted to join military service to follow in the footsteps of their loved ones who gave their lives protecting the peace and stability of the country.

The Armed Forces of the Philippines lauds the troops of Eastern Mindanao Command and the 10th Infantry Division for a job well done that resulted in the declaration of the whole Davao region as insurgency-free.

The joint resolution signed by the Regional Peace and Order Council composed of Local Chief Executives from various Local Government Units (LGUs) of Region 11 signifies the success of the Whole of Nation approach in ending the insurgency in the area.
