'We, therefore, have to be more agile in our responses not only in the military area but also in diplomacy, also in geopolitical negotiations, and in our partnerships that we foster with our friends and allies around the world,' Marcos said.
President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. on Monday called on the Armed Forces of the Philippines to be "more agile" not just militarily but also in terms of "geopolitical negotiations."
"We, therefore, have to be more agile in our responses not only in the military area but also in diplomacy, also in geopolitical negotiations, and in our partnerships that we foster with our friends and allies around the world," Marcos said. He said this was why the Philippine military had to know "very well how to use the tools that are given us to the best effect for the national interest."
