The Armed Forces of the Philippines National Capital Region Command (AFP NCR Command), led by Major General Gregorio B. Hernandez Jr., together with key command officers, paid a courtesy visit to Department of the Interior and Local Government–National Capital Region (DILG-NCR) Regional Director Maria Lourdes L. Agustin, CESO III, on January 28, 2026 at the DILG-NCR Regional Office. 

The courtesy call provided an opportunity for both agencies to discuss priority areas of collaboration, particularly on programs, projects, and activities to be implemented in 2026 under the Regional Peace and Order Council–National Capital Region (RPOC-NCR), where the AFP NCR Command serves as Co-Vice Chairperson, as well as the Joint Regional Task Force–NCR (JRTF-NCR), where it serves as one of the Advisers. 

Both parties reaffirmed their shared commitment to strengthening inter-agency coordination in advancing peace and security, promoting socio-economic development, and supporting effective local governance and community resilience across Metro Manila.
