From the Manila Bulletin (Aug 25): Oust-Duterte move ‘imaginary’ – 4th ID chief
The newly-installed 4th Infantry Division commander of the Philippine Army has branded as “imaginary” the clamor of an alleged group composed of military and police personnel to oust President Duterte.
“It’s imaginary. We have worked for so long about professionalizing our Armed Forces, and these people are just, maybe, imagining what they can,” Maj. Gen. Ronald Villanueva said.
Villanueva was chief of the Intelligence Service of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (ISAFP). He replaced Maj. Gen. Benjamin Madrigal Jr., who was assigned as chief of the Southern Luzon Command.
A group that called itself the Patriotic and Democratic Movement (PADEM), in a statement, has called for the ouster of President Duterte.
“We, officers and members of the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the Philippine National Police, hereby make a compact to constitute ourselves as the Patriotic and Democratic Movement (PADEM) and to condemn and hold Rodrigo R. Duterte accountable for gross crimes in betrayal of public trust and in violation of national sovereignty and democratic rights of the Filipino people,” PADEM said in a statement.
