By MANILA, Philippines — The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) told former Ilocos Sur Gov. Luis “Chavit” Singson to lodge his allegations of government corruption in civilian courts and not to resort to asking the military to resolve the issue.
“The Armed Forces of the Philippines has consistently supported calls for good governance and anti-corruption,” spokesperson Col. Francel Margareth Padilla said in a briefing on Tuesday in Camp Aguinaldo, Quezon City.
“Addressing allegations regarding civilian governments, public funding, or economic policy falls exclusively under the jurisdiction of civilian courts and oversight bodies, not the military. This must be addressed through established legal processes,” she added.
