"The Armed Forces of the Philippines welcome developments that strengthen the country's defense and security posture, particularly initiatives that support the modernization, capacity development, and readiness of our forces. Any support received by the Armed Forces of the Philippines will be used transparently and responsibly, in accordance with existing laws, policies, and alliances."
