DND Secretary Carlito Galvez Jr. rallied personnel of the Philippine Army (PA) to maintain their integrity and keep the organization “clean” so they can fulfill their sworn duties to serve and protect the nation and the Filipino people.
Department of National Defense Secretary Carlito Galvez Jr. rallied personnel of the Philippine Army to maintain their integrity and keep the organization “clean” so they can fulfill their sworn duties to serve and protect the nation and the Filipino people.
This, as he visited the Army headquarters in Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City last Wednesday, Jan. 18, where he reminded the commanders “to take care of our people, resources, and organization” amid the rumblings in the Armed Forces of the Philippines during the past weeks. He was accompanied by AFP Chief of Staff, Gen. Andres Centino and PA Commanding General, Lt. Gen. Romeo Brawner Jr.
Likewise, Galvez also mentioned the proposed amendments to Republic Act No. 11709 or the new mandatory term law for senior military officials which, he believes, is the root cause of “tampuhan” or sulking in the military. “Your human resource development systems/programs will be directly under the different major service commanders. When the law comes out, you will be excluded. We pray that the transition with [RA] 11709 will be well and swiftly managed by our armed forces. We hope that the amendments will come out soon so your careers will no longer be affected,” Galvez added in a mix of English and Filipino.
