House Bill 6482 – which seeks to amend a law signed by then-president Rodrigo Duterte only in April – limits the fixed 3-year term to the military chief and the Army, Navy, and Air Force chiefs.
MANILA, Philippines – The House of Representatives approved on second reading a bill seeking to amend a months-old law which mandated fixed tours of duty for key officers of the Armed Forces of the Philippines .
Lawmakers who co-authored the bill said that since the passage of RA 11709 in April, officers and enlisted personnel of the AFP raised “a significant number of proposals and recommendations” on the law “to make it more responsive to the needs, peculiar situation, organizational culture and human resource development” of the AFP.
Tupas, who defended the proposed measure during the plenary, said lateral movements would allow officers holding such posts to assume new roles within these ranks if there are vacancies.
