MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine Army will be conducting programs to ensure that their “skilled” personnel would not be of use to criminal elements even after they bow out of military
In a phone interview, Army chief Lt. Gen. Romeo Brawner Jr. said among those that they had discussed at the sidelines of a meeting in Malacañang on Monday were to monitor the post-military service activities of all of Army personnel with “special skills.”
“But now, I am ordering our units to also generate a list of our snipers, assaulters, special forces, and LRR , so that when they’re discharged, we already have intel on them,” he said. “We will also pair everybody with a second career, to help them gain employment should they go out of service,” Brawner said of Army personnel, both honorably and dishonorably discharged from service.
“We need to pour funds for our counterintelligence so it could grow bigger, and can do more of its work,” he noted.
