MANILA, Philippines \u2014 Armed Forces of the Philippines chief Gen. Felimon Santos Jr. said Tuesday that the military will heed to the appeal of the United Nations for an \u201cimmediate global ceasefire\u201d to protect the most vulnerable in conflict amid the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe could not agree more with the UN SecGen\u2019s call for a global ceasefire,\u201d he said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The Philippine government last week declared a unilateral ceasefire with communist rebels, which will last until April 15.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd the AFP, from its leadership down to the last element on the ground, adheres to it religiously,\u201d Santos said.<\/p>\n

While its law enforcement operations against communist rebels continue, the military has shifted its focus on assisting the government\u2019s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have trailed our focus on this virulent but unseen enemy that has claimed the lives of 33 of our countrymen and thus far infected 501. And this development pushes us harder,\u201d Santos said.<\/p>\n

Communist Party of the Philippines founder Jose Maria Sison, meanwhile, said he is recommending a unilateral ceasefire as a response the UN call.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
