Retirement papers submitted to pension office, not Noy – Iriberri

MANILA, Philippines - Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) chief Gen. Hernando Iriberri yesterday clarified he did not submit his retirement papers to President Aquino.

Iriberri also stressed that his giving of retirement documents to the military’s pension office was in compliance with a longstanding policy.

“I already submitted my retirement papers as early as October last year. That’s in compliance with AFP policy that retiring personnel must complete and submit their retirement supporting documents to the AFP Pension and Gratuity Management Center six months prior to retirement date,” Iriberri said in a text message to The STAR.

“I did not say that I already submitted by retirement papers to the president,” he added.
