Aquino says he has picked replacement
by Victor Reyes and Wendell Vigilia
Armed Forces chief Gen. Delfin Bangit yesterday censured the camp of incoming president Benigno Aquino III for telling him to resign after he and 301 other senior officers were bypassed by the Commission on Appointments.
In a press conference in Camp Aguinaldo, Bangit told the incoming administration to treat the military “with honor and give us the dignity that we deserve,” and said the resignation call is an attempt to destroy the Armed Forces.
Incoming president Benigno Aquino III said he will not strike a compromise with Bangit because he already has a replacement in mind.
