A former general and chief of the Civil Relations Service (CRS) of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) died Sunday in a car accident in Los Banos, Laguna, a report from the Philippine Military Academy Alumni Association Inc. (PMAAAI) said Monday.
PMAAAI said Major General Nestor Sadiarin (retired) was declared dead on arrival at the hospital.
“Maj. Gen. Nestor Sadiarin died in a vehicular accident at around 3 p.m. today (Sunday),” a text message sent by a member of the PMAAAI to InterAksyon.com said.
The remains of the general will be brought Monday afternoon to the Heritage morgue at Fort Bonifacio in Taguig City.
Sadiarin was a member of the PMA Masikap Class 1977 and served as CRS chief during the latter part of the administration of former president and now Pampanga Representative Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
Sadiarin became controversial when he made public his initiative in conducting a survey among soldiers what they thought about the candidacy of then detained Navy lieutenant junior grade Antonio Trillanes IV, who was elected senator in 2007.
The survey did not sit well with some members of the Commission on Appointments (CA) resulting in the deferment of the general’s one-star rank promotion.
