Manila, July 28 -- The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) on Sunday expressed its elation after being named as one of the top 10 performing government agencies by the 2019 Executive Outlook Survey of the Makati Business Club (MBC).

"We in the Armed Forces of the Philippines expresses its gratitude to the representatives from 100 firms who comprised the 100 respondents in a research conducted by the Makati Business Club," AFP spokesperson, Marine Brig. Gen. Edgard Arevalo said in a message to reporters.

The MBC survey seeks to provide a "snapshot of the business sector's perception on the current government leadership and public service".

Inclusion in the top 10 is a considerable feat for the AFP as it is the "only non-economic sector"...
