MANILA – The Armed Forces of the Philippines is now on red alert after Pres. Rodrigo Duterte lifted the unilateral ceasefire order with the New People’s Army (NPA) last July 30.

“(Red alert) was declared last Saturday since the SOMO (suspension-of-military offensive) was cancelled),” AFP Spokesperson Brig. Gen. Restituto Padilla said.

“(Lifting of red alert) will depend on the Commander-in-Chief and the prevailing situation,” he added.

Col. Edgard Arevalo, AFP public affairs office chief, said the entire military was placed under red alert starting 7 p.m. last Saturday.

Red alert requires 100 percent availability of all troops and equipment.
