The top military intelligence officer stays in his post.

This is what Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) Public Information Officer Lt. Col. Buenaventura Pascual said on Wednesday amidst reports that Intelligence Service of the AFP (ISAFP) Chief Brig. Gen. Marlowe Quevedo is already relieved.

“I would like to make it clear that Brig. Gen. Marlowe Quevedo is still the chief (of the) ISAFP. It came out in the print this morning that he is already relieved. There is no truth to it,” Pascual told reporters yesterday at Camp Aguinaldo.

The military spokesman said the reports on Quevedo’s relief, which is suspected to have something to do with the release of a taped conversation between President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and a Comelec official, may just be part of a series of disinformation being circulated to ride with the uncertainties of the times brought about by rumors of destabilization plots against the government.

“He is performing very well,” Pascual said of Quevedo.

When sought for comment, Quevedo only said he has not received any order yet for his relief./DMS
