DISINFORMATION ALERT | On falsely portraying the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (EDCA) sites as imminent military targets

The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) cautions the public against disinformation falsely portraying the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (EDCA) sites as imminent military targets. These claims have no factual or intelligence basis and are clearly intended to sow fear and panic.
 
EDCA cooperation strengthens—rather than diminishes—Philippine defense posture by improving humanitarian assistance and disaster response, interoperability training, and territorial defense preparedness.
 
The AFP strongly condemns the spread of false information that unnecessarily alarms the public and undermines national unity. We urge citizens to remain calm, verify information through official government channels, and exercise responsible digital citizenship.

BUWAN NG KABABAIHAN 2026

Ang Sandatahang Lakas ng Pilipinas ay buong-pugay na kumikilala sa mahalagang papel at di-matatawarang ambag ng kababaihan sa lahat ng larangan, sa loob at labas ng ating institusyon.
 
Ang temang "Lead Like the Babaylans, Filipinas" ay isang paalala na ang kapangyarihan ng babae ay nagmumula sa kaniyang kakayahang mamuno nang may integridad at kahusayan. Tulad ng mga babaylan na kinikilala sa kanilang taglay na tapang at karunungan, ang kababaihan sa ating organisasyon ay nagpapakita ng kahusayan sa pamumuno, disiplina, at dedikasyon sa paglilingkod.
 
Sa AFP, ang kababaihan ay hindi lamang kalahok, sila ay mga lider, tagapanday ng pagbabago, at haligi ng isang mas matatag at progresibong kinabukasan.
