Armed Forces of the Philippines chief of staff Gen. Andres Centino hcalled the reported squabbling in the ranks over the law that set fixed terms for key officials of the armed forces. | JEMendozaINQ
Under Republic Act 11709, military officials appointed to key positions will serve a fixed term of three years, except for the Philippine Military Academy superintendent, who will have a four-year tour of duty.This law seeks to end the so-called revolving-door policy or the rapid succession of AFP chiefs who had to step down after serving for a short period upon reaching the mandatory retirement age of 56.
Concerns were raised over the possibility of a significant number of officers facing attrition or reduction in numbers, especially among lieutenant colonels and colonels who occupy important posts, due to reduced “tenure-in-grades” of seven and eight years, respectively.
