MANILA, Philippines — Former Air Force chief Lt. Gen. Galileo Gerard Kintanar Jr. has put an end to speculations on whether he would retire from military service at the change of command on Friday. There seems to be confusion on the Palace end if the Air Force general is retired or not. He served as Air Force chief for 14 months. Nonetheless, things happen for a reason and I’m happy to have served the Air Force,” he said. Meanwhile, Kintanar welcomed the job offer of the President but with an understanding that he would remain in military service.
