The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) on Thursday said it would intensify its efforts to monitor soldiers being used in crimes after some former militray personnel were allegedly involved in the killing of Negros Oriental Governor Roel Degamo.
Interviewed on Dobol B TV, AFP spokesperson Colonel Medel Aguilar said Army chief Lieutenant General Romeo Brawner Jr. ordered intensifying counterintelligence efforts to monitor these soldiers.
“Para at least yung mga ganitong kaso ay namo-monitor din natin at makagawa tayo ng precautionary measures para hindi nila magamit ang kanilang skill na natutunan sa loob ng military organization sa criminal act like this,” he added. Aguilar said arrested suspects in the killing of Degamo are Army personnel facing different cases like for violation of Article 97 of the Articles of War or conduct prejudicial to good order and military discipline as well as illegal drug cases.
