CA Confirms Ad Interim Appointments for 55 Government Officials

The Commission on Appointments (CA) has approved the ad interim appointments of 36 senior officers from the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and 19 officials from the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA). This development comes just days before Congress adjourns for the campaign season, underscoring the government's commitment to addressing emerging security threats.

Cybersecurity Concerns

During the CA hearing, Senators Ronald Dela Rosa and Risa Hontiveros raised concerns about cybersecurity risks facing the military. Dela Rosa queried Brig. Gen. Constancio Espina II, commander of the AFP Communications, Electronics and Information Systems Services, about measures to prevent the use of Chinese AI app DeepSeek by Filipino soldiers.

If there is a policy prohibiting your soldiers from using this DeepSeek, how can you implement it and stop soldiers from using the app? Dela Rosa asked.

Secure Network Solution

Espina assured the committee that all information and communications would be transmitted only through a secure network provided by the AFP. This move comes amid growing concerns about data breaches and cyber intrusions in the country.

Cyber Defense Doctrine

Hontiveros expressed alarm over these issues, asking Espina about the status of the AFP's cyber defense doctrine. Espina reported that the AFP had already developed a doctrine on cyberspace operations, including information network operations and defense cyber operations.

Boosting Capability

This move is part of efforts to enhance the capability of the AFP and aligns with its third horizon modernization program. As the country navigates the complexities of cybersecurity, it is essential that our national security forces stay ahead of the curve.
