Before Rabusa, There Was Pogoy: Court-Martialed for YouTube Exposé, Ex-Captain Decries ‘Prevalent Corruption’ in Military

By ANNE MARXZE D. UMIL
Former Air Force Captain Joenel S. Pogoy, who spent two years in detention after being court-martialed for exposing corruption in the Air Force, says corruption in the military is worse than what is publicly known.

Luis V. Teodoro | The Truth Interred

Equally troublesome is the media tendency to speculate on Reyes’ state of mind, his reasons for his apparent suicide, and even who’s to blame for it (as the weekend approached, the Senate was turning into the villain responsible). While nothing much can be gained from it, the cost of this mindlessness is to bury under tons of verbal garbage the need to get to the bottom of the corruption metastasizing in an institution that claims national security as its exclusive mandate.
