President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Monday named Carlito Galvez Jr. as the new Defense Secretary to replace Senior Undersecretary Jose Faustino Jr., who had resigned.President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. shakes hands with Carlito Galvez Jr. after the latter accepted the Chief Executive’s offer to become the new Defense Secretary vice Jose Faustino on Monday.
The Department of National Defense welcomed Galvez’s appointment in a statement issued to the press.“With Secretary Galvez’s years of experience as a military commander and as a civilian public servant, we are confident that he will be able to effectively lead the department as we fulfill our mandates to the nation,” the DND statement read.
Faustino, who formerly served as chief of staff of the AFP, was appointed by Mr. Marcos to the Defense portfolio last July after he came to power. A copy of a memo whose authenticity could not be verified said all Philippine National Police units were to be placed on full alert due to “developing issues in Camp Aguinaldo,” and the “resignation of all personnel in the DND” and “destabilization movements from the AFP.”But national police chief Gen. Rodolfo Azurin Jr. denied the existence of any destabilization plot and the memo’s authenticity, even as he ordered an investigation into its circulation online.
Meanwhile, former PNP chief and senator Panfilo Lacson said the country’s military officials are generally loyal to their sworn duty and the Constitution. “There is information though that OIC and Senior DND Undersecretary Faustino mentioned to some close associates as early as last month that he will resign if Lt. Gen. Bacarro is replaced. That could have probably triggered the rumored ‘mass resignation’ in the DND,” Lacson said.
