Gazmin, ex-PSG men dictating AFP postings — Angue
By Mario J. Mallari and Aytch de la Cruz 08/17/2010 A defiant National Capital Region Command (NCRCom) chief Rear Admiral Feliciano Angue yesterday accused Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin of meddling in the promotions system in the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and the movements of military officers after President Aquino assumed his post, saying these promotions were mostly planned out among Gazmin and former members of the Presidential Security Group (PSG) of the late President Corazon Aquino, the current president’s mother. Angue also told reporters yesterday the leadership of the AFP and the Department of National Defense (DND) are misleading President Aquino in justifying his impending relief as commander of the military’s primary anti-coup unit and his transfer as commander of the Naval Forces Western Mindanao as not being a demotion but a mere lateral movement. Angue, who called a press conference yesterday, said that contrary to the AFP leadership’s claim that he is being laterally re-assigned as commander of the Naval Forces Western Mindanao, his new designation is a clear demotion as the position only calls for a two-star general when NCRCom is a three-star position.....
