Tactical people are heavy and stuck in the ground; strategists are light on their feet and can see far and wide.

3 months ago, you fired the AFP DCS for Intelligence (J2) MGEN LUNA for releasing an erroneous and unverified list of UP alumni who supposedly joined the New People’s Army. You called it “unforgivable lapse”. Last month, you reinstated MGEN LUNA. Now, take it from there.

[Delfin Lorenzana @del_lorenzana]

We denounce the irresponsible propaganda being propagated in
online posts alleging that a group of retired and active military officers are withdrawing their support for the President. Such disinformation is an act of reckless agitation emanating from detractors. @infopsph

[Info Ops @infopsph]

Another not surprising statement from Defense Secretary @del_lorenzana whose daughter was made presidential appointee as Executive Director of the National Parks Development Committee under the Dept of Tourism.

[Chiara Zambrano @chiarazambrano]

Defense Secretry Delfin Lorenzana also releases a statement denying claims of a withdrawal of support for the Commander-in-Chief, Duterte. @ABSCBNNews

[Info Ops @infopsph]

CSAFP GEN SOBEJANA, @TeamAFP’s mandate is to protect the people and the state. Its goal is to secure the sovereignty of the State and the integrity of the national territory. That you are not in adherence to this mandate surprises no one when you cannot be loyal to your own wife.

[Chiara Zambrano @chiarazambrano]

The Armed Forces of the Philippines belies claims of an “imminent” withdrawal of support to President Duterte following his seeming inaction the face of China’s incursion in the West Philippine Sea. AFP also dispels rumors of foreign warplanes landing in PH soil @ABSCBNNews

[Info Ops @infopsph]

We do not accept and we do not recognize this so-called ruling. It
has been agreed by our two presidents that we should close the old chapter and shelve differences (Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines Huang Xilian, 2016).

The demand of the Viber 500 and the retired generals in Pres Duterte’s cabinet, except retired CSAFP Galvez, to denounce China’s invasion in the strongest possible terms is now impossible to ignore. A withdrawal of support is very imminent.

[Info Ops @infopsph]

SND and CSAFP in talks with US counterparts as Pres Duterte downplays consistent prodding to issue statement against China’s invasion. Pres Duterte resorting to appear-disappear tactics to evade issue. Withdrawal of military support probable if demand is not met. 2/2

Viber Group of 300 now reached nearly 500 members with junior offrs fm PMA, OCS and OPC and other senior offrs in active service. Except former CSAFP GALVEZ, retired generals in cabinet incl Natl Sec Adviser Sec Esperon now demand strong condemnation of China fm Pres Duterte. 1/2

This award is a slap to the China PLA’s mouthpiece in the Philippines who also doubles as the @TeamAFP Spokesperson MGEN @atty_edarevalo.

[Chiara Zambrano @chiarazambrano]

The Armed Forces of the Philippines through Chief of Staff Gen. Cirilito Sobejana recognized the journalistic efforts in ABS-CBN’s coverage of the West Philippine Sea. Sobejana says they acknowledge the role of journalism in raising public awareness of issues. @ABSCBNNews

I’ve flown over some of the artificial islands of China when they were still being built. So see them now, completed, is both chilling and sobering.

Islands in the video: Calderon Reef, Johnson Reef (close to Julian Felipe), and Mischief Reef (close to Ayungin Shoal) @ABSCBNNews

The AFP Spokesperson @atty_edarevalo is now taking another job as the Chinese PLA mouthpiece in the Philippines.

[Armed Forces of the Philippines @TeamAFP]

China’s People’s Liberation Army representatives reiterated their government’s assurance that those ships were not manned by militia and that those were constrained to seek shelter in the area when inclement weather hampered their fishing activity.

9/n

[Info Ops @infopsph]

The AFP Chief ordered his Vice Chief to invite the Chinese Defense Attaché for an explanation on the presence of the militia vessels. A strong act of defiance against Pres Duterte who promised he would talk to the Chinese Ambassador in an attempt to placate the angry AFP.

[Inquirer @inquirerdotnet]

“We do not tolerate incursions in our territorial waters from anybody. We stand or uphold by our mandate. so that was our actions as regards to the incursions made by the Chinese militias in our territorial waters,” the AFP chief said. | @CMRamosINQ https://t.co/QuYEeqjagk

Pres Duterte was a day late in greeting the Army for its 124th Founding Anniversary. Done after yesterday’s address with no mention of the Chinese maritime militia’s invasion of Julian Felipe Reef. However, he made sure the AFP Chief was confirmed today. https://t.co/kzIGN3Gr6G

Sec Locsin should summon the Chinese Ambassador to the Dept of foreign affairs.

[Chiara Zambrano @chiarazambrano]

Much of the 1M vaccines donated went to the PH Defense Department & military. Rollout plans show China will be the Philippines�� biggest supplier of vaccines.

How will the government ably respond to the incursion in the Julian Felipe Reef with this mounting debt of gratitude?

[Info Ops @infopsph]

The decision for reinstatement of the two Major Generals, the DCS for Intelligence and the DCS for Civil Military Operations, is connected to the Viber Group of the disgruntled junior officers who have seniors among their advisers.

[ABS-CBN News @ABSCBNNews]

Defense Sec Delfin Lorenzana recommends the reinstatement of MGen Alex Luna, Dep. Chief of Staff for Intelligence; & MGen Benedict Arevalo, Dep. Chief of Staff for Civil Military Ops - heads of units linked to the erroneous tagging of people as dead/arrested NPA | @chiarazambrano
