In a unified stance, the Philippine National Police (PNP) and the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) have expressed full support for President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.'s recent comprehensive peace initiatives.

The proclamations granting amnesty to rebels and insurgents are seen as a pivotal move towards national reconciliation and unity.

The PNP emphasizes that these actions, conducted within legal boundaries, prioritize public safety and play a crucial role in fostering peace and stability. The administration's commitment to upholding the rule of law while facilitating the peaceful reintegration of individuals into society is underscored by the extension of amnesty through established executive orders and proclamations.

"We firmly believe that amnesty initiatives for former members of such groups contribute significantly to fostering peace and stability in our nation," states the PNP, emphasizing their dedication to safeguarding citizens and supporting initiatives that promote lawful reintegration.

Similarly, the AFP welcomes the grant of amnesty to members of various groups, including the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People's Army-National Democratic Front (CPP-NPA-NDF), emphasizing that this step is crucial in ending armed conflicts and achieving lasting peace. The AFP expresses confidence that the administration's amnesty will create an atmosphere conducive to just, comprehensive, and enduring peace.

"We hope that the remaining members of these armed groups will accept the government's comprehensive peace initiatives and use them to return to the folds of law," says the AFP, encouraging individuals to become productive members of mainstream society. Both the PNP and AFP remain steadfast in their commitment to building a better and more prosperous nation for future generations, aligning their actions with the vision of a "Bagong Pilipinas."
