Demand explanation on military ‘politicking’ chargesAFP brass out to silence AngueBy Mario J. Mallari and Aycth S. de la Cruz 08/06/2010 As long as the Armed Forces of the Philippines officers focus on the alleged poll cheating that occured in 2004, it appears that the AFP brass are willing to have this all out in the open. But not when it comes to charges of politicking, poll fraud and partisan politics in the 2010 elections, now that the AFP is under the regime of their new commander in chief, President Aquino. Omerta and cover up are again the rule, with a new commander in chief. And the top brass are out to silence and sanction the military whistleblower. AFP Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Ricardo David Jr. yesterday called on National Capital Region Command (NCRCom) chief Rear Admiral Feliciano Angue to explain his public issuance of statements regarding alleged “politicking” of some top-ranking military officers during the last May 10 presidential elections. In a letter dated Aug. 5, David noted that Angue’s statements printed by the media on Aug. 4, urging the Truth Commission to investigate alleged electioneering of military officials during the recently concluded national elections, were not part of his “mission and mandate” as commanding general of the NCRCom.
