Angelo Reyes Is Dead

This came as a total shock, I had to stop and say to myself, what in the world happened?

Early this morning, I received a text message from a colleague who told me Former Armed Forces Chief of Staff and National Defense Secretary Angelo Reyes died (or rather, committed suicide) at the Loyola Memorial Park, Marikina City.

Angelo Reyes had a gunshot wound in his chest and was proclaimed dead on arrival at the Quirino Memorial Medical Center. He was 65 years old.

Earlier, his name is included as one of those who have allegedly misused the funds of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, along with former Major General Carlos Garcia.

Bombings and Gibo

I don't know much about Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro, however, his latest directive to the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) really deserves a two thumbs up.

Amidst the recent bombings in Mindanao resulting to at least six bodies killed, the AFP released news that those responsible for the bombings are now targetting Metro Manila.

Secretary Teodoro on Thursday, July 9, gave this stern warning to the Armed Forces of the Philippines:

SHUT UP AND JUST CATCH THEM.

“My advice to them is they should do their job, double time, triple time. More action, less talk.”
