PRESIDENT-ELECT Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. has chosen a military spokesman as the head of the Presidential Security Group (PSG), according to the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) Public Affairs Office.
“AFP spokesperson Colonel Ramon Zagala will be designated acting PSG commander and acting senior military assistant at the same time,” Jorry L. Baclor, chief of AFP’s public affairs office, said by telephone on Sunday. “According to him, it will be effective on June 30.”Mr. Zagala will replace outgoing PSG Commander Randolph G. Cabangbang.
The security team, which is not attached to the PSG, was activated after Ms. Carpio requested “that a security unit separate from the [PSG] be created and be assigned” to her and her family. Ms. Carpio in a statement last week said the request was made in anticipation of “future elections” and the possibility of “strained relations” between the president and vice-president.
