Army reservists no more! AFP delists Cavite Rep. Barzaga

by Kiko Cueto

THE Philippine Army has delisted Cavite 4th District Representative Francisco “Kiko” Barzaga Jr. from the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) Reserve Force.

According to Col. Louie Dema-ala, this is due to certain violations that are tantamount to a grave offense under military regulations.

Col. Dema-ala also said that the delistment took effect Sept. 21.

A review was conducted in accordance with General Headquarters, AFP Standard Operating Procedure No. 7.

This meant that Barzaga lost all privileges as a reservist. He will no longer be authorized to wear a military uniform under any circumstances. 

The army said that the move was made in line with Articles 177 and 179 of the Revised Penal Code. Under the said law, it prohibits usurpation of authority and the illegal use of uniforms and insignias.
