Remain apolitical, Army personnel told“We are a professional organization and we don’t get involved in these political issues because we are non-partisan. MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine Army (PA) yesterday reminded its personnel to leave political issues to politicians following the relief of an Army officer for allegedly withdrawing his support from President Marcos. “We are a professional organization and we don’t get involved in these political issues because we are non-partisan. We are facing greater challenges, particularly with our regional security… we assure (the public) that the Philippine Army is intact,” he added. Army chief Lt. Gen. Antonio Nafarrete relieved Mongao from his post as commander of the Training Support Group under the Army’s Training Command on Friday.
