The Department of Justice (DOJ) has endorsed 2 proposed laws before the House of Representatives that prescribe a fixed term for the chief of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and prohibits former military officers from being appointed as secretary of the Department of National Defense within 3 years after retirement. In a letter to Senator Rodolfo Biazon, chair of the Committee on National Defense and Security, Justice Secretary Leila de Lima said her department has "no objection to the enactment" of House Bills No. 6 and No. 9.
