Defense Secretary Carlito Galvez Jr. on Friday moved calm down reported rumblings in the Armed Forces of the Philippines reportedly sparked by “anxiety” of some military personnel on the possible effects of a newly-enacted law seeking to professionalize the ranks.
In a hearing before the Senate Committee on National Defense and Security, Peace, Unification and Reconciliation last Tuesday, Galvez clarified to senators that the DND is “listening to the concerns of our men and women in the AFP, who are understandably anxious over the perceived uncertainty in their careers under the new law.
“The DND’s proposed amendments to RA 11709 aim to further enhance the professionalism and efficiency of the AFP. The issues surrounding the law are being threshed out collaboratively between the DND and the AFP,” Galvez explained.
