President Benigno S. Aquino III on Monday expressed his full trust and confidence on
new Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) chief of staff Gen. Eduardo Oban, saying he expects him to continue the reforms initiated by his predecessor, Gen. Ricardo David.
Speaking at the command turnover at Camp Aguinaldo, the President said Oban successfully fought insurgency in Pampanga when he was air force commander.
“He helped solve the problems there. Because of his achievements, his reforms while being the deputy chief of staff, I hope that he will continue the policies in the military as well as the programs left by General David. That is the reason why I chose him as the new chief of staff,†the President said.
The President thanked David for helping him spearhead reforms in the government, noting that his first instruction was to bring back dignity to the armed services.
“My first assignment was to bring back the trust of the people to the armed forces just like what happened after EDSA. Now after 10 years, after a corrupt government, help me bring back the dignity to the armed forces, and an AFP that also takes care of the people,†he said. = PNA
