MANILA — With the Christmas Season about to go full blast, Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) chief-of-staff Lt. Gen. Benjamin Madrigal Jr. reminded all military personnel to take the necessary security precautions during the holidays.

He issued this advise following a recent visit to the Philippine Army headquarters in Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City.

“On a side note, Christmas is fast approaching. Let me extend my warmest greetings to every officer, enlisted personnel and civilian human resource. Allow me to also remind you of your physical security and personal security during vacation,” Madrigal said.

He also urged all military and civilian personnel to contribute to the AFP’s  transformation roadmap.

Madrigal also encouraged them to work together and practice the culture of leadership, unity, and peace to reach the AFP’s ultimate goal of achieving just and lasting peace in the country.

“Suklian natin ng mabuti at tapat na serbisyo ang magandang suporta na binibigay sa atin ng ating Presidente at ng mga kapwa natin Pilipino. Let us give them our genuine and honest public service,” the AFP chief emphasized.
