                    [Summary] => Military and police officials believed to be anti-administration are reportedly being "threatened and intimidated" by their superiors.


Sources told The STAR yesterday the administration is closely monitoring the activities of Marine Lt. Gen. Edgardo Espinosa, the commandant of the Joint Command and Staff College in Camp Aguinaldo in Quezon City.


Sources said Espinosa, former chief of the Armed Forces Southern Command, has been perceived as a "possible" administration critic after he was relieved of his command in Mindanao last year.
