MANILA, Philippines —The Armed Forces of the Philippines on Friday said it respects the decision of the Commander-in-Chief, President Benigno Aquino III, in rejecting the proposed fixed three-year term of military officials.
“We will honor and respect the decision of the President and Commander in Chief,†Colonel Arnulfo Burgos, Jr., AFP spokesman, said in a statement.
“With or without the fixed term, we will continue to work harder to professionalize our ranks and strive to be more efficient and effective in the performance of our mandate,†Burgos said.
Aquino vetoed the bill, saying it conflicts with the Constitution’s provision on the laws of retirement.
