00:00Okay, as retired officers, kagaya ko, eh, hindi na kami, ah, well, we are not bound strictly, no, by military law, so they can speak freely, diba?
00:12Ah, itong mga pananaw namin, as individuals, our opinion, we respect them.
00:22However, meron din tayong, ah, obligasyon, no, bilang, ah, retired officers, na tingnan ng ating, ah, dating pinagsilbihan ang ating former out of office, no, at yan ay nandoon na ikaw ay dapat sumunod sa konstitusyon sa mga legal orders na nakakataas sa iyo.
00:47So, yung mga retiradong, ah, nasabi, na, na lihis ang kanilang pananaw na tumatawag ng, ah, nang, ah, activities or actions that, that border on, ah, defying the constitution or violating the constitution,
01:09Iyan ay hindi sinasuportahan ng karamihan ng ating retirado, including the AGFO, no, which is composed of more than a thousand officers.
01:21Ang alam ko, yung dalawang general na leaders, o identified leaders, na nag-stage ng lali sa gateport, hindi sila membro ng AGFO, no?
01:36At kaming membro ng AGFO, ang aming out of office is to defend the Republic of the Philippines, the constitution, and support the welfare of the armed forces personnel.
01:48Iyan ang panunumpan ng isang membro ng AGFO.
01:53At nais kong i-correct ang pananaw ng marami na, pag ikaw general, membro ka ng AGFO, hindi po ganoon, it's not automatic.
02:03One has to apply to be a member of AGFO because there are membership dues, and then you will be sworn, and then you have an obligation as a member of AGFO.
02:16So, yun ang principles na sinusunod ng AGFO.
02:21Ako ay former chairman and president for four years in the past.
02:26At naniniwala ako na our association, the AGFO, will support the defense of our constitution.
02:36Yan ang aming pinanumpaan.
02:37So, sangayon kami sa mga pronouncements ng ating mga leaders na yung rule of law, yung pagsunod sa batas sa constitution, ay dapat suportahan yung tangkili.
02:53Thank you very much, Seth.
02:56Yes, from South China Morning Post.
03:00Good morning, General Adan.
03:03Thank you very much for appearing before us.
03:06We used to cover you in full cap.
03:08We used to cover you in full cap.
03:38Thank you very much.
