MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine Army is investigating allegations that several graduating National Guard trainees were physically assaulted by an instructor during a sanctioned activity at a military training school in Camp Capinpin, Tanay, Rizal, on Monday night.
Col. Michael Aquino, public affairs chief of the Army’s 2nd Infantry Division (2ID), said on Tuesday that an investigation is underway and that the service would hold accountable those behind the supposed incident.
“We are currently investigating a reported incident at a division training school,” Aquino told reporters in a phone interview. “The Philippine Army will not tolerate any breach of discipline within the ranks. Once proven guilty, if a breach has been committed, those responsible will be made answerable.”
