AFP spokesman Col. Tristan Kison said that the President’s dialogue with the military in the course of her provincial trips was not aimed at identifying who among them are pro or anti-government.

"That’s the job of our intelligence and counter-intelligence units. It’s not the job of the President although she can direct these units to conduct these kinds of investigations," Kison added.

Aside from the President who is also the AFP commander in chief, Kison said that top officials of the three AFP major service commands — Army, Navy and Air Force — will be holding dialogues with the officers and enlisted personnel to determine their morale amid the critical issues now hounding the Arroyo Administration.
