Former Senator Panfilo M. Lacson on Monday, January 9 said the Armed Forces of the Philippines is generally composed of professional officers and men whose loyalty to the flag and the Constitution is above and beyond their individual preferences.
The change of command ceremony at the military establishment last Saturday was dubbed as ‘’bizarre’’ because newly-designated AFP chief of staff General Andres Centino took over the command from from Lt. General Bartolome Bacarro who replaced him five months ago. Lacson said the Philippine National Police already clarified last weekend the reason for its supposed heightened alert status – it was for another purpose, not related to any destabilization and the rumored “mass resignation” of DND officials.
