AFP Guarantees Security Detail Continuity
The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) has assured that Vice President Sara Duterte’s security detail will remain intact despite recent leadership changes. The AFP Security and Protection Group (ASPG) commander was relieved following an Ombudsman case, yet officials confirmed this will not affect the Vice President’s protection.
AFP Public Affairs Office chief Col. Xerxes Trinidad stated during an event that the security arrangements for Vice President Sara Duterte continue without interruption. “Our commitment to her safety remains steadfast,” sources from the military added. This reassurance came amid concerns over the possible impact of the ASPG leadership change.
ASPG Commander Relief and Its Implications
The ASPG commander’s removal was linked to an ongoing investigation by the Ombudsman. Community members noted that despite this, the AFP is prioritizing the uninterrupted service of the security teams assigned to high-profile officials.
Local leaders observed that the AFP’s swift action demonstrates the institution’s dedication to accountability without compromising operational security. “The Vice President’s security detail is a top priority and will not be disrupted,” officials emphasized.
Maintaining Security Amid Leadership Changes
Even as the ASPG undergoes internal adjustments, the AFP has ensured that the protocols safeguarding Vice President Sara Duterte remain active and effective. Sources said the security personnel are professionally trained to manage transitions smoothly, preventing any security lapses.
Moreover, community members highlighted that such changes are routine within military organizations and do not affect the overall mission to protect key government officials.
AFP’s Commitment to Public Safety
Officials reported that the AFP continues to uphold its mandate to provide security without fail. The institution’s transparent communication with the public aims to build trust and assure citizens that leadership changes do not weaken protective measures.
Col. Trinidad further emphasized, “We will maintain the highest standards in security operations, especially for the Vice President.” This statement reinforces the AFP’s resolve to safeguard national leaders regardless of personnel shifts.
