ZAMBOANGA CITY — There will be a reshuffle of commanders in major units of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) in the coming weeks, said Armed Forces spokesman Brig. Gen. Restituto Padilla.
Padilla said here the reshuffling of leadership was a result of the retirement of previous officials, including former AFP chief of staff Gen. Ricardo Visaya early this month, and the movement of key officials to the higher positions.
“With the pending retirement of our previous officials there will be a reshuffle of our people,” Padilla told newsmen.
He said most of the reshuffle will be in the major units where officials are scheduled to retire.
However, Padilla said they cannot confirm yet the changes of leadership until they receive the advice from the AFP Board of Generals.
Meanwhile, the AFP spokesman said operations would not be affected with the recent assumption of Gen. Eduardo Año last week as the new AFP chief of staff.
“Walang maapektuhan sa ginagawa nating mga operations ngayon,” Padilla said, adding that plans have been laid even since the change of leadership in AFP.
