THE leadership of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) is hopeful that it would soon be able to return to its traditional role as protector of the country’s territory and sovereignty by 2016 or after the end of the term of President Benigno Aquino 3rd.

AFP spokesman Brig. Gen. Domingo Tutaan Jr. said they were hopeful that the government peace panel by then would be able to reach a permanent and peaceful closure of all armed-conflicts, with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) as well as the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army-National Democratic Front (CPP-NPA-NDF).
