AMX-30B2 nalang paliton, upgraded version na.... Can shoot day and night, even when covered in smoke... although karaan na but still kicking, destroyed 20+ tanks during Desert Storm.... France is always willing to sell any military hardware, so ok ra ni...

It's Operation Bayanihan...

IPSP-Bayanihan is touted as a shift from traditional military operations to civil-military campaigns aimed to curb the armed struggles primarily of the communist New People’s Army and other armed rebel groups.

The military dubs the IPSP as a multi-sectoral campaign that opens up space for the involvement of the Filipino people in defining, shaping and ensuring long lasting peace in the country.

President Aquino’s security agenda focuses on the people and calls for amulti-stakeholder approach to peace and security and on protecting our rights andcivil liberties. The approach of the current administration’s national security thrustinvolves four specific elements: governance, delivery of basic services, economicreconstruction and sustainable development, and security sector reform. Incompliance to the pronouncement of the Commander-in-Chief, the AFP crafted theInternal Peace and Security Plan (IPSP) to serve as the guide in the performance ofits mandated functions of protecting the state and the people. It shall help AFP unitsin planning for and contributing to the attainment of internal peace and security

again i stressed political will is not needed... for it is aimed to the civilian community and not the leaders... again i said again... POLITICS AND MILITARY DONT MIXED mao as much as possible dili i involved ang politica they only joined if asked...

schools being built by the afp, bridges, roads.. reaching out in public needs etc. those are the main counter insurgency program right now.. they want to loose/lessen the support of the rebels from the people. the afp is trying to address what really is the main reasons of rebellion, and it usually starts from lack of government support from there area. less educated, afp is calling for the support of both LGU and private entities about this issues.. and lots more.


its not all bullets to counter insurgencies.. but yes, they're trying to eliminate those pesky hardcore rebels/bandits too.

sakto..in other words counter-insurgency cant be done by AFP alone, afp is part of the sulotion so as the local goverment..coz local goverment do provide basic services to civilians affected by insurgency..and so we need to have continous program for insurgency to be eliminated...
