Adoption of Gibo's defense concept backed by expert
The Philippine Star
|March 10, 2024
The Marcos administration’s adoption of a Comprehensive Archipelagic Defense Concept (CADC) is a move in the right direction and a manifestation of its seriousness in tackling external security challenges, particularly China’s growing aggressiveness in the West Philippine Sea.
This was according to De La Salle University professor Renato de Castro at a forum in Quezon City yesterday.
He was reacting to Department of Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro’s pronouncement on Friday that he had ordered the Armed Forces of the Philippines to “operationalize” the CADC “to ensure that our people and all the generations of Filipinos to come shall freely reap and enjoy the bounties of the natural resources that are rightfully ours within our domain.”
“For many decades and several administrations, our defense has been focused on internal security operations,” De Castro said.
