From CNN Philippines (Jan 31, 2021): AFP names acting intel chief amid ongoing probe on ‘erroneous’ red-tagging list
The Armed Forces of the Philippines designated on Sunday the acting deputy chief-of-staff for intelligence amid the ongoing probe on the erroneous list that tagged some University of the Philippines alumni as members of the New People’s Army.
AFP spokesperson Edgard Arevalo confirmed on Sunday that BGen. Charles Gaerlan will be the acting intelligence chief.
Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana earlier sacked then intelligence chief MGen. Alex Luna following the publication of the list.
Moreover, the AFP also said that BGen. Gabriel Viray is named as the acting civil military operations chief.
The post was formerly held by MGen. Benedict Arevalo, who was also relieved after his office posted on Facebook the list of UP alumni allegedly captured and killed after joining the communist group.
The military apologized later on after Lorenzana acknowledged the mistake.
