Out and in again: Marcos brings Centino back as AFP chief (Rappler)

(1st UPDATE) The unthinkable has happened in the Philippine military: their former chief is returning to the same post he vacated five months ago.

Bacarro, the 58th chief of staff of the AFP, was supposed to be the first armed forces chief to serve under a fixed term of three years following the passage of Republic Act No. It was not clear why Malacañang had wanted to remove Bacarro early on, though some military insiders said he was associated with dismissed executive secretary Vic Rodriguez. The release said Centino “replaces previous appointee” Bacarro.
