@maracepeda Robredo: Had a comprehensive and fruitful discussion with several retired generals of the AFP on major aspects of national security. #PHVote #WeDecide | via @maracepeda

@maracepeda Robredo: The expert views of these generals and respected military strategists are very much appreciated, as we recognize that with threats both present and evolving, we need an institutional, comprehensive, and deliberate approach to national security. #PHVote #WeDecide

@maracepeda Robredo: We were able to discuss governance issues, defense spending, internal and external security concerns, civil-military relations in a democratic society… #PHVote #WeDecide | via @maracepeda

@maracepeda Robredo: … as well as non-traditional security concerns such as climate change, disaster risk reduction and management, pandemic response, cybersecurity, and disinformation. #PHVote #WeDecide | via @maracepeda

@maracepeda Robredo: Little did we know that on Nov. 16, Chinese Coast Guard vessels harassed our vessels that were on a resupply mission to BRP Sierra Madre in Ayungin Shoal. This kind of treatment to Filipinos must stop. WPS is ours as the arbitration tribunal ruled in July 2016.

@maracepeda Robredo: As our generals put it aptly, the planning horizon for a national security policy and strategy must be long-term for sustained implementation, regardless of changes in administration. #PHVote #WeDecide | via @maracepeda

@maracepeda Robredo: Coherence in national security planning and economic development planning is important. #PHVote #WeDecide | via @maracepeda

@maracepeda Robredo: We are committed to continue our consultations with them. Maraming salamat, Sirs, for still looking out for the Filipino. #PHVote #WeDecide | via @maracepeda

@maracepeda Here is the list of retired military generals who met with the Robredo-Pangilinan tandem yesterday #PHVote #WeDecide | via @maracepeda

@maracepeda Robredo on the Chinese Coast Guard using a water cannon to block PH supply boats: Na-harass na naman ang ating resupply vessels sa Ayungin Shoal. Hindi pwedeng maliitin ang mga Pilipino nang ganito. #PHVote #WeDecide | via @maracepeda

Robredo: Ang panalo natin sa Arbitral ruling ang sandalan natin para tuloy-tuloy natin ma-protektahan kung ano ang atin. #PHVote #WeDecide | via @maracepeda
