DISINFORMATION | On resurfaced claims against AFP Chief of Staff General Romeo S. Brawner Jr.
The AFP clarifies that resurfaced claims against AFP Chief of Staff General Romeo S. Brawner Jr. are false and misleading. Allegations of Honor Code violations and supposed “₱15-billion ghost projects” have no factual basis. The cited amount refers to the TIKAS Program, which is exclusively managed by DPWH, with no funds passing through the AFP.
The public is urged to stay vigilant, verify information, and rely only on official and credible sources.
