That is possible. The Philippine Army intends to promote the boxer and congressman to the rank of a Lieutenant Colonel as a reservist. If and when that materializes, the president who is the commander in-chief has the final say to approve or thrash Pacman’s promotion paper.
It is better if the Armed Forces opens its filing cabinet and reviews the names of deserving members of its ranks and file for career advancement. There are a lot of active and professional soldiers who better deserve a promotion.
In the past we read deserving soldiers bypassed in their promotion after failing in their loyalty test.
That should not happen again.
If and when a reservist Lt. Col. Manny Pacquiao is called into active service, is he capable in leading his men probably graduates from the Philippine Military Academy to attack a known terrorist lair in the South; for example?
I am not taking for granted Rep. Pacquiao’s military background. For sure he has a military training. However, I doubt if his knowledge in military tactics, mathematics for warfare or military instinct is better than the professional soldiers.
If and when a reservist Lt. Col. Manny Pacquiao is called into active service in the future, it would be interesting to know how he fares in the battlefield and the tenacity of his organizational skills as well.
