Resigned interim defense chief Jose Faustino Jr. on Tuesday admitted being blindsided by the abrupt change of command in the Armed Forces of the Philippines that had sparked talk of unrest in the military, prompting him to quit his post. /PDI
On Monday, Marcos accepted Faustino’s resignation “with deep regret” and tapped former peace adviser Carlito Galvez Jr. as the next defense chief.
“According to Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin, [Faustino] knew of the developments with regard to the appointment of Gen. Andres Centino, who is the only four-star general in the AFP,” it said. The defense department then vets the recommendations and forwards a shortlist to the president, who will make the final choice.
He was later nominated as ambassador to India but never got to assume the post before returning to the AFP.
