Following the release of news that a general of the AFP has a connection with Ozamiz City's Vice Mayor Nova Princess Parojinog, and protects the family's drug ring.

”We will not allow – especially those in the active service to be part or coddling, protecting anyone or any drug syndicate. It’s a mortal sin on the part of the AFP,” Año told reporters in an interview on Saturday in Davao during a command conference at the Eastern Mindanao Command.

According to AFP Chief of Staff Eduardo Año, they will conduct an investigation and contact the Philippine National Police (PNP) and the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) to obtain information on the report.

”We still have to coordinate with the PNP or PDEA kung ano yung hawak nila at makapagsimula tayo ng sariling imbestigasyon (We still have to coordinate with the PNP or PDEA what data they have so we can start our own investigation),” 

They will strictly look into this and they will not let is pass that there are active generals involved in illegal drugs, or being a drug syndication protector.

However, Año said they have no information whether they are active in the service or retired.

“Di pa natin alam kung active o retired. We will look into that,”

They need to contact the PNP or PDEA for what they hold information about the general before the investigation.

Año said the AFP has an on-going program that will discouraged the men and women of the AFP to get involved in illegal drugs.
