                    [Summary] => 



Armed Forces chief Gen. Hermogenes Esperon said yesterday the military is ready to defend the country’s sovereignty if peace talks with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) break down.


However, Esperon said the military prefers a peaceful solution to the war in Mindanao.


"Why go to war when we can talk peace and save people from being displaced, save casualties, save resources," he said.


Esperon said the supposed military posturing in Mindanao is a preventive measure to ensure that the ceasefire is being observed by both parties.

Defense Secretary Avelino Cruz downplayed a travel advisory issued by the British government warning its citizens against traveling to the Philippines.


He assured the public that security forces are on their toes and emphasized that the threat of terrorism is worldwide.


"We’ve been in the worst situation (terrorism), and we’ve been able to manage," he said. "Travel advisories are everywhere. The threat of terrorism is part of the people’s lives, not only in the Philippines, but in other countries as well."
