"To be considered to the post of AFP chief-of-staff is
already a big honor. But for now, I am focused on my job as Commander of the
AFP SOLCOM," he added.
Visaya is a member of the Philippine Military Academy Class
of 1983.
He was among the candidates when the positions of the
Philippine Army and AFP became vacant but did not make it on the two occasions.
When asked on this matter, AFP spokesperson Brig. Gen.
Restituto Padilla said that it is still "speculative" as no official
statement is still to come from the Duterte camp regarding the matter.
However, he stressed that 668 ranking officials, with ranks
of colonels and upwards, can be evaluated for the position of AFP chief.
Selection and shortlisting will be done by the Board of
Generals, which is composed of the AFP chief, vice chief-of-staff, deputy
chief-of-staff, and Army, Air Force, Navy commanders.
Track records and seniority are among the requirements when
promoting senior military commanders, Padilla said.
When asked if Visaya is qualified for the AFP chief
position, the military spokesperson said all senior military officers are
qualified for the position.
