Senate Minority Leader Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel III and Senate defense committee chairman Jinggoy Estrada see no controversy in the appointment of Lieutenant General Romeo Brawner as next Armed Forces of the Philippines chief.
“[Republic Act] 11939 amended the previous law, RA 11709, which prescribed fixed terms for the key officials of the AFP. The existing law clearly states that the AFP Chief of Staff will compulsorily retire upon the completion of a tour of duty or upon relief by the President,” Estrada said. Estrada commended the outgoing AFP chief for his dedicated service, saying Centino will be handing over a much better AFP to Brawner.Although Centino is eligible for another term, Pimentel said the law provides for a maximum allowable term which means it is “not a matter of right of the appointee.”Pimentel said Brawner has served the AFP his whole adult life and he saw his high profile assignments in the service.
