President Rodrigo Duterte is set to assign Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) Chief of Staff, General Rey Leonardo Guerrero as the new administrator of the Maritime Industry Authority (Marina).
The President made the announcement Monday afternoon at the launching of an event for farmers and fishermen in Mawab, Compostela Valley.
The President is eyeing Guerrero to replace dismissed Marina administrator, Marco Amaro due to excessive foreign trips.
“Jagger (General Guerrero) after his term, he will lead Marina because I dismissed the former administrator since he’s been on foreign trips often,” Duterte said.
The President has earlier extended Guerrero’s tour of service at the AFP until April 24, 2018.
Meanwhile, the President has ordered the military and police forces to uphold their duties and apply the implementation of the law on him, in case he violates any provisions of the Constitution, especially on term extension.
“Pag ako sumobra sa aking termino, isang araw lang (If I exceed my term, even for a day,) I am now asking the AFP or PNP not to allow me or anybody else to mess up with the Constitution. Trabaho niyo yan, to protect the Constitution and the people… pag sumobra ang panahon ko kahit isang araw lang barilin nyo ako (if my term extends even one more day, shoot me),” Duterte said.
