                    [Summary] => The Commission on Appointments (CA) unanimously confirmed yesterday the appointment of Gen. Benjamin Defensor as Armed Forces chief.


However, President Arroyo rejected a CA resolution that would have authorized her to extend Defensor’s term to a full three years. 


Defensor is to retire on Nov. 18 on reaching the mandatory retirement age of 56, after two months in his post — the shortest stint for an AFP chief.


Defensor, a member of the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) Class 1969, was sworn in by Mrs. Arroyo at Malacañang yesterday.
