00:00Armed Forces of the Philippines Chief General Romeo Bronner Jr. says there is no, quote,
00:05takeover of the security group assigned to the Vice President.
00:08He explains the Vice Presidential Security and Protection Group, or VPSPG, will be temporarily
00:14replaced because of a subpoena related to a police investigation.
00:17Colonel Raymond Dante Lachica, chief of the VPSPG, would also be replaced because he is
00:22also being subpoenaed.
00:24The Quezon City Police had filed complaints against Sara Duterte and Lachica, who was
00:28seen on a video shoving a police officer.
00:31Bronner says details of the personnel overhaul are still unavailable.
00:35The AFP chief also dismissed talk of military adventurism in his speech, apparently referring
00:40to former President Rodrigo Duterte's call for military and police intervention to protect
00:44the constitution amid what he described as a, quote-unquote, fractured government.
00:49Bronner says there are calls for the AFP to intervene in political events in our country,
00:53but that is not our job.
00:55He adds military adventurism of the past cannot happen again.
00:58We will remain professional.
