AFP Official Denies Madriaga’s Claims, Questions Credibility of Affidavit

A senior official of the Armed Forces of the Philippines has firmly denied the allegations made in the affidavit of Ramil L. Madriaga, raising serious questions about the credibility of the claims.

According to Col. Raymund Dante P. Lachica, Madriaga was never part of the Vice Presidential Security and Protection Group (VPSPG)—not as an operative, asset, or in any official capacity.

This directly challenges the foundation of the affidavit, particularly claims involving coordination, access, and financial transactions.

No Connection, No Case?

Lachica emphasized that without any verified connection to the VPSPG, the narrative presented in the affidavit collapses.

👉 No official role
👉 No institutional link
👉 No verified access

If proven true, this could significantly weaken the claims made in the complaint.

Process and Protocol

The AFP official also clarified that:

• assignments are based on qualification and proper procedures

• confidential funds follow formal and documented systems

This contradicts allegations suggesting irregular handling of funds.

Legal Consequences Underway

The issue is now moving into formal legal channels:

• The affidavit is being examined in a perjury case

• Its circulation is also under cyberlibel investigation

These developments signal that the matter is no longer just political—it is now legal.
