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.
