AFP chief of staff Gen. Rey Leonardo Guerrero 黑料社 \/ NOY MORCOSO<\/p><\/div>\n\n

It is \u201coverly ambitious\u201d to decimate terrorism by April next year, or when the term of Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) chief of staff Gen. Rey Leonardo Guerrero ends.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cFor me to say that we will be able to finish the terrorist problem within my term considering that I will be serving only up to April will be overly ambitious. I\u2019m just being practical,\u201d Guerrero told reporters in a press briefing\u00a0on Friday\u00a0at Camp Aguinaldo.<\/p>\n\n

The AFP chief, who assumed position last\u00a0Oct. 26, was scheduled to retire by\u00a0Dec. 17\u00a0as he reaches the mandatory retirement age of 56. But President Rodrigo Duterte extended his term to\u00a0April 24, next year for him to serve for a total of six months.<\/p>\n\n

The AFP chief said that the organization operates based on a campaign plan: \u201cWe set targets and timelines and right now may targets kami as far as the neutralization of terrorist threat is concerned.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ll do my best to the most that I can give at the time that I am afforded as the chief of staff,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n

The AFP continues to face security challenges from local ISIS groups and the New People\u2019s Army (NPA), but he said they will now shift their focus on fighting communist insurgency.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m just continuing that part of the campaign plan sitting as the chief of staff. We are supposed to have started yung effort natin against the NPA nung last year but somehow this was affected by the conflict in Marawi and we need to focus on terrorism,\u201d Guerrero said.<\/p>\n\n

Early this month, the President Rodrigo Duterte signed a proclamation declaring the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People\u2019s Army as a terror organization, after he terminated talks with the latter amid continued attacks on government security forces. \/jpv<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
