Major General Vicente Blanco III has dismissed the allegations made by former Marines against several personalities, including President Ferdinand Marcos Jr and Senators Vicente Tito Sotto III and Erwin Tulfo. Blanco emphasized that the Marine ethos and esprit de corps are time-honored and unquestioned, and that an individual who was Discharged Without Honor could not claim the adage Once a Marine, Always a Marine to lend credence to his actions. The involvement of the three retired Marines in the recent presscon called by a private lawyer was entirely of their own choosing, and that they did this on their own personal volition, Blanco added.
Reiterating our time-honored Marine ethos and our unquestioned and strong esprit de corps , an individual who was Discharged Without Honor could not claim the adage Once a Marine, Always a Marine to lend credence to his actions, Major General Vicente Blanco III said in a statement addressed to the former servicemen.
It is unfortunate that in the recent presscon called by a private lawyer, three retired Marines involved themselves, he said. The involvement of the three retired Marines was entirely of their own choosing, and that they did this on their own personal volition, Blanco added. We should always look with disdain against opportunistic groups or individuals trying to link their actions as being true Marine - they are unworthy of our respect, he said.
Blanco also expressed his disappointment at the involvement of the retired Marines in the recent presscon called by a private lawyer. The allegations made by the supposed former Marines against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr, Senators Vicente Tito Sotto III and Erwin Tulfo, Representative Leila de Lima, and former Rep. France Castro, among others, are politically motivated, Blanco added.
The National Bureau of Investigation NBI Director Melvin Matibag on Thursday said an informant told the bureau that former AnaKalusugan Representative Mike Defensor alleged former Marines and soldiers to make claims that several personalities received cash from former Ako Bicol Party-List Representative Zaldy Co. The 18 supposed former Marines and soldiers anew, rejecting allegations that their testimonies before the Cayetano bloc-led Senate Blue Ribbon committee were scripted and politically motivated, Matibag said. Blanco emphasized that the Marine ethos and esprit de corps are time-honored and unquestioned, and that an individual who was Discharged Without Honor could not claim the adage Once a Marine, Always a Marine to lend credence to his actions.
