February 25, 2020

The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) called on the Filipino people to support the government's fight against communists and terrorist groups as the country marked the 34th anniversary of the 1986 EDSA People Power Revolution.

"Let us reject and fight the members and leaders of the communist terrorist group and Daesh-inspired localtTerrorist groups who menace society," said Brigadier General Edgard Arevalo, AFP spokesperson, on Tuesday.

"Let us once again unite with the AFP in neutralizing the CTG (communist terrorist group), the proverbial wolves in sheep’s clothing and defeating the LTG (lawless terrorist group) anathema who wreck the lives of our children, destroy our families, and ruin our posterity," he added.

Arevalo said  "the AFP joins the nation in commemoration of the 1986 EDSA People Power."

"More than being a public holiday, your soldiers, airmen, sailors, and marines relive the spirit of that day when we manifest to the world the unity, resolve, courage, and determination of Filipinos," he said. Robina Asido/DMS
