⚠️ PUBLIC ADVISORY The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) warns the public against a circulating social media post that uses an altered and AI-generated image to misrepresent an official AFP statement regarding public support for joint military exercises in the West Philippine Sea. While the survey result cited (71% support for joint military exercises) is based on an official AFP release, the image being circulated is NOT an official AFP graphic or publication and contains manipulated visual content that may mislead the public and unfairly portray AFP personnel. We encourage everyone to verify information through AFP’s official communication platforms and refer to the original AFP post where the photo was taken: afp.mil.ph/news/afp-usindopa… The AFP remains committed to providing accurate, factual, and responsible information to the Filipino people. #AFPyoucanTRUST #OneAFPOnePhilippines #StrongAFPStrongPhilippines #OurSeasOurRightsOurFuture #MatatagNaSandigan 🫡🇵🇭
