Cebu City Philippines | Philippine News Agency: Avoid military adventurism because its is not worth to die while violating the oath of allegiance to the Philippine flag, the Cebuano commanding general of the Philippine Air Force told his men.
Lt. Gen. Pedrito S. Cadungog issued the statement during Tuesday's change of command of the 2nd Air Division from Maj. Gen. Nicomedes B. Corpuz Jr. to Brig. Gen. Nathaniel C. Legaspi at the Benito Ebuen Mactan Air Base in Lapu-Lapu City.
Corpuz filed for optional retirement effective June 1, ending 35 years and two months of military service. Legaspi, on the other hand, was the deputy commander of the Southern Luzon Command prior to his transfer to Cebu.
"As soldiers, we offer our lives to defend the country and the people. We will not run away from the enemy. But to die uselessly because of military adventurism, that is foolishness," Cadungog said.
Cadungog is confident that no PAF soldier is against the government or is violating the code of conduct.
"I challenge them that if there's anyone that would go against the government, let that one kill me first because if he cannot kill me, I will kill him. He has no place in the Armed Forces of the Philippines, most especially in the Philippine Air Force," Cadungog said.
"I don't even have to ask each and everyone of you to take part in winning the hearts and minds of the people by talking to them and showing goodness to them," Cadungog said.
