00:00The Armed Forces of the Philippines will continue to recruit reservists
00:04so that the country's forces will be stronger.
00:08They are among those who will fight in case tensions rise in the West Philippine Sea.
00:14We have the first news from Chino Gaston.
00:22In case China continues to stop the Philippine ships from going home from the war,
00:28not only the soldiers of the AFP will be called to defend the country.
00:32The reservists, or civilians trained in military training and part of the AFP Reserve Command,
00:37will be included in the estimated 150,000 forces of the military.
00:43As of now, the number of reservists in the country is less than 2 million.
00:46Preparations should start immediately because we don't know, especially nowadays,
00:52if the war will be by missiles, by drones.
00:57We call it cyber warfare or destroying the internet.
01:02That's why we need to recruit internet specialists.
01:08The 52-year-old nurse, Merjane de Guzman,
01:11is among those who enlisted in the AFP Reserve Command recruitment held in San Juan.
01:16My father and my uncles are soldiers.
01:20I have a background in the military.
01:24Since I was a child, I've always wanted to be a soldier.
01:28Aside from her, some officers of the LGU also enlisted.
01:32It's important for our mothers to be trained and know how to be a reservist.
01:41One of the reserve units is the 2nd Signal Reserve Battalion of Sunshine Media Network Inc.,
01:47the media company of the KOJC of Pastor Apollo Quibuloy.
01:51According to the records of the Philippine Army, there are more than 400 reservists in the SMNI.
01:56It's not a problem for the members of religious organizations to be reservists
02:01as long as they are not involved in illegal activities.
02:04One of the police is currently looking for the so-called Angels of Death,
02:09a private army led by the pastor.
02:12Once there is an investigation, once the report is finalized,
02:16they will identify the reservist who is involved in illegal activities.
02:21The Philippine Army can recommend that he can be removed from the roster of the reserve force.
02:27The lawyer of Quibuloy denied that he has a private army.
02:30Meanwhile, for those who want to be enlisted,
02:34open the booths in San Juan City Hall atrium until the end of the month.
02:38Just bring the requirements for enlistment
02:41and remember that the requirements for commissioning are different.
