My fellow Inquirer columnist, former Ambassador Ramon Farolan, who writes insightful essays on the military establishment, has commented on what he calls “the lameducking” of General Yano as a result of the announcement of his successor well ahead of his retirement. I now wonder if Yano’s nomination as ambassador to Brunei is a way of compensating him for that injury.
