A well-placed source in the Arroyo administration told us there would be movements in the next few weeks in the mid-level of the military that would compel a three-star general to move out of his area command a month before his retirement.
The source said the movement is apparently towards putting in place Arroyo’s dream team that would help her implement her no-exit plan in 2010.
The information we got is that Lt. Gen. Nelson Allaga will be turning over the Western Mindanao Command to Lt. Gen. Ben Dolorfino, currently the Marines commandant, sooner than his (Allaga) July 16, 2009 retirement.
