They were able to raise P480 million? tapos sasabihin wala pera eh pag sa mga projects like SRDP. shame on these pigs. dapat nag-suicide na rin sila gaya ni Gen. Reyes.

I will not name the division and the officers involved but all I can say is that the quota was supposed to be for 500 but they only enlisted 300 - and not all are even qualified. So I can say the wages for those 200 vacant was already a savings on the part of the higher ups on that division alone.

With all that bullshit Test Mission and this. Crackedhead military officials running the show while brainwashing their footsoldiers making them to believe that the government is really broke. Stupidity, they been enhancing quantity and not the quality of the AFP capabilities just to feed their hungers of stealing taxpayers' money. Total BS. How can any on us be proud of our soldiers then?

We already did. Gen. Barbieto was placed under court martial for extortion and conduct unbecoming of an officer and a gentleman. Imagine, a 30 yr old CAFGU against a 21 year old civilian - who is more qualified? Then the CAFGU gave the Gen. P30k and a gun to ensure his enlistment. The 21 yr old lost his slot on the enlistment - he went to Samar and was enlisted there.
