Bad news for AFP chief of staff Gen. Delfin Bangit.

Because Congress adjourned on Friday without him getting the nod of the Commission on Appointments, Bangit is deemed bypassed and thus he has to vacate his position and be replaced by his vice chief of staff, Lt. Gen.Rodrigo Maclang, according to Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile.

Enrile said President Macapagal-Arroyo can no longer re-appoint Bangit because of the ban on appointments that is effective until her term ends on June 30.
