CA confirms appointment of 196 AFP senior officers, 28 DFA officials; bypasses CSC official
MANILA, June 1 (PNA) – The Commission on Appointments (CA) confirmed on Wednesday the ad interim appointments of 196 senior officers of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and 28 officials of the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA).

The CA Committee on National Defense recommended the confirmation of the appointments of the AFP senior officers, including V. Luna Hospital chief Brig. Gen. Joseph Acosta.

Acosta’s confirmation was opposed by the family members of one retiree who was confined but later died at the AFP’s V. Luna General Hospital. The death prompted the family to file administrative case against Acosta and one of the doctors of the hospital.

Rep. Rufus Rodriguez moved for deferment of Acosta's confirmation, but Senator Antonio Trillanes IV, a former Navy officer, said the Ombudsman case should not hinder Acosta’s confirmation.

Trillanes, however, advised Acosta to improve the services of the V. Luna, saying he personally witnessed the lousy services being given by the medical personnel of the military hospital to the soldiers and their dependents.

”I don’t see any grave reason why we will stop the promotion of Gen. Acosta, but I hope we will learn from this experience. Discipline your personnel because when I brought my father to V. Luna, I saw the nurses have no sense of emergency. My father died there,” Trillanes said.

As ordered by Trillanes, Acosta apologized to his oppositors and promised to continue the improvement he has been implementing at the V. Luna Hospital.

Aside from Acosta, other confirmed AFP senior officers include: Rey Leonardo B. Guerrero, who was promoted to the grade of Lieutenant General; Carlito G. Galvez, Ferdinand F. Quidilla, Arnold A.

Drilon also urged the newly-confirmed AFP officers to “be loyal to the Constitution.”

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
