Timeline
Victor Navarro Corpus (born October 4, 1944) is a retired Filipino military officer and public official best known for his 1970 defection from the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) to the New People's Army of the Communist Party of the Philippines during the authoritarian regime of Ferdinand Marcos, for his defection from the NPA in 1976, his return to the AFP after the 1986 People Power Revolution, and his later role as chief of the Intelligence Service of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (ISAFP).
Corpus was born on October 4, 1944 in San Pablo City, Laguna.
His father was Col. Vicente Corpus of the AFP Medical Corps.
He took his elementary and high school studies at De La Salle University, and then on his father's insistence, entered the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) in 1963.
A member of the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) Class of 1967, he was promoted to the rank of Brigadier General of the AFP in May 2003, and retired with that rank when he reached retirement age in October 2004.
Corpus eventually graduated from PMA as part of the "Dimasupil" class of 1967.
He entered the Philippine Army, where he received Airborne and Special Forces training.
He later transferred to the Philippine Constabulary.
Disgruntled by corruption in the armed forces, he opted for an assignment as instructor at the PMA.
On December 29, 1970, Corpus formally defected to the New People's Army and led a raid on the PMA armory.
Timing the raid when most cadets were out on Christmas vacation and the PMA's senior officers including its Superintendent, General Ugalde had left the camp to meet President Ferdinand Marcos upon his scheduled arrival in nearby Baguio City.
Corpus, who was PMA's designated officer of the day (OOD), guided the NPA raiding team which managed to escape with Browning Automatic Rifles, carbines, machine guns, and various other weapons and ammunition.
Disgruntled with the Communist Party of the Philippines, Corpus decided to surrender to government in 1976, and spent the rest of the Marcos dictatorship in prison.
Gringo Honasan, a former Philippine Army officer who had led various coup attempts against the Corazon Aquino administration in the 1980s, was a student of Corpus in political science at the PMA, and once stated that "[Corpus] was, in fact, our class advisor. Most of the radical thinking of our class was his influence."
After Marcos was deposed in the peaceful 1986 EDSA Revolution, Corpus was granted clemency by President Corazon Aquino.
In 1987, Corpus was reinstated into the Armed Forces of the Philippines, with a rank of Lieutenant Colonel.
A biographical film about Corpus titled Operation: Get Victor Corpus, the Rebel Soldier was released in January 1987, where he is portrayed by Rudy Fernandez; it would later be offered for international distributors at the 1987 Cannes Film Festival film market in May.
On June 7, 1989, he launched his book titled Silent War at the Manila Polo Club, with then-National Defense Secretary Fidel V. Ramos in attendance.
He was promoted to the rank of Brigadier General of the AFP in May 2003, and retired with that rank when he reached retirement age in October 2004.
