Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson voiced concern on Tuesday that growing frustration within the armed services could pose a risk if it is exploited by unscrupulous and power-hungry destabilizers.

“As per information, though still sketchy and raw, the level of frustration within the armed services has reached up to battalion and regional levels,” he said.
