MANILA, Philippines—The Armed Forces of the Philippines said its intelligence network has monitored no threats that would disrupt Monday’s State of the Nation Address of President Benigno Aquino III.

Still, Lieutenant Colonel Ramon Zagala on Wednesday said the AFP would keep monitoring the situation.

“There are no threats, none so far,” Zagala said. “But we continue to monitor.”
