From the Philippine News Agency (Nov 15): New AFP central commander assures
support to peaceful and clean elections
Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) Central Commander Vice Admiral Jose Luis
Alano assured that their units will support the holding of peaceful and clean
elections come May 2013.
Alano, who assumed his position only last October and is now visiting all
units in the Visayas island which he covers, said that the AFP members are ready
to perform their jobs in protecting the people and will ensure the holding of
peaceful and honest election. He further said that they are part of the joint peace and security council
together with the Philippine National Police and led by the Comelec. “We will go after the private armies to make sure that there will be no
coercion and the rebel groups' extortion activities stopped,” Alano contended.
The AFP Central Command covers Regions 6, 7, and 8 in the Visayan island.
