With his scheduled retirement just 16 days away, Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) chief-of-staff Gen. Emmanuel Bautista on Friday said that he is mulling a little vacation before seeking work in the civilian sector.
The AFP chief is scheduled to step down this July 20.
"I'll take some vacation first (after retirement) as I never had a proper vacation while in active service," he said in Filipino.
Bautista added that he will try to repair some things at his house during his planned vacation.
He is planning to do this with his wife and children.
And when asked if he plans to serve the country in a public office capacity, Bautista said he will just wait for offers.
"I'll continue to work, I need to work to survive," the AFP chief stated.
Bautista declined to comment on rumors that President Benigno S. Aquino III is planning to appoint him as the next head of the Department of National Defense.
"You cannot plan on that, that is the decision of the President," he stressed.
