00:00The Armed Forces of the Philippines confirmed that a cadet asked for the reward of President Bongbong Marcos
00:07in a graduation ceremony last May,
00:10following the statements of Vice President Sara Duterte last Friday.
00:15But it did not go as planned and was not accepted,
00:20so the cadet was punished.
00:24Chino Gaston was executed.
00:30This is the graduation ceremony of the Philippine Military Academy in Baguio City last May
00:35which was attended by President Bongbong Marcos and Vice President Sara Duterte.
00:39VP Sara did not say if this is the ceremony she is referring to,
00:43where there is a request for a reward from the President that she refused.
00:47And this is where Vice President said that their relationship is now toxic.
00:51But according to the Armed Forces of the Philippines,
00:56there is a cadet who asked for the President's watch.
01:00In the video, you can see that the President brought his watch to the cadet,
01:04but he did not give her the watch.
01:07According to the spokesperson of AFP,
01:09this is not something that cadets usually do and it is not acceptable.
01:14This is actually an isolated case and does not reflect the overall culture and training within the academy.
01:20It happened when the cadet is in a moment of euphoria.
01:26He was facing the President and he made a mistake.
01:29This behavior is neither common nor acceptable.
01:33According to AFP, the cadet who is now assigned to the Philippine Air Force was punished.
01:39He was not dismissed.
01:40Upon learning about the incident, the PMA took action immediately.
01:46During the 2019 PMA Graduation Ceremonies,
01:49there was also an incident where a PMA cadet asked for the President's watch.
01:55At that time, former President Rodrigo Duterte gave her the watch.
