Abstract:
The primary purpose of this study is to illustrate the wide spread and unnoticed
corruption occurring in the Armed Forces of the Philippines. As what Senator Miriam Defensor
Santiago said in one of her privilege speech, the Military according to the Constitution should
protect the Filipino people Instead, with the testimonies of Col. George Rabusa and former Co A
Auditor Heidi Mendoza, the AFP as an institution has become the "predator" of the people. The
research study focuses on the process and methods of corruption that happened during the 9 year
Arroyo Administration: how the former president Gloria Macapagal- Arroyo protected and spoilt
the officials of AFP. Likewise, the paper tackled the Plea Bargaining Agreement between
Retired General Carlos Garcia and the Office of the Ombudsman. The study's output will lead to
an understanding of divisions within the AFP. its officials and other personalities taking
advantage of AFP funds.
