Kiko On the AFP in Metro Manila

"The troops should be pulled out and in their place the PNP be given the assigned tasks. Their presence is of doubtful constitutionality. There is no lawless violence, no rebellion nor invasion in NCR and therefore no basis to deploy the armed forces as contemplated by the Constitution. This is another act that joins the long list of acts of questionable constitutionality undertaken by the government beginning with EO 464, PP 1017, CPR, People's Initiative and ConAss. This deployment by the AFP in the NCR must be vigorously opposed and Malacanang must step in to correct this unconstitutional edict immediately."
