Last Statement of Former Defense Secretary Angelo Reyes: ‘I walked into corruption’

Two days before Angelo Reyes committed a suicide he wrote a rough “discussion notes” on February 6, 2011 Sunday for an interview with a journalist Malou Mangahas of Philippine Center Investigative Journalism (PCIJ).
“I did not initiate the military irregularities. I walked into it as a traditional in the AFP. Perhaps my faults was having accepting it as ordinary course in the AFP.”
It was believed that his written notes probably the last recorded words of Angelo Reyes.
In his rough discussion notes it was found there that there are several other former AFP chiefs of staff that received millions of pesos from a traditional send-off money or “pabaon” when one of them retired from service.

In a concise note of Reyes, he tried to show the real situation while active in the service as AFP chief of staff between following a crooked military system and insisting honest career as a devoted soldier in the call of military service.
