Strict penalties await military personnel who will be found
to have indiscriminately fired their service weapons during the coming New
Year's Eve revelry, Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) spokesperson Col.
Resituto Padilla said Tuesday.
"If a soldier is found to have indiscriminately fired
his weapon (during his trial), he can be separated from the service and lose
all his benefits," he added.
Padilla also said that superiors or commanding officers of
erring troopers will also be made answerable to the chain-of-command.
With this development, unit commanders are required to
inspect the firearm and ammunition load of all of their personnel, as well as
shortly after the New Year's Eve revelry, to determine if these were illegally
expended or fired.
