Ramon Montaño (born March 3, 1937) is Filipino politician and retired military officer during the administration of President Corazon Aquino.[1] He ran as an independent candidate for the 2013 Philippine Senate elections, but he lost.[2]

Montaño plans to create laws that would serve as guidelines to improve the police and military service. He also advocates a review of the Local Government Code as well as the removal of the power of local politicians over the Philippine National Police. He also plans to work for the rights of retired soldiers and police officers.[2]

Montaño and coup rumours

In 2002, Montaño accused the military intelligence community of spreading coup rumors in order to get into the good graces of President Arroyo.

In 2003, an OPS press release said that Montaño “had indicated that some Malacañang officials were fanning destabilization talks to divert public attention from criticisms of the Macapagal-Arroyo administration.”

Montaño on "Hello Garci"

"There must be a conspiracy. There was no way Garcillano could have left without the knowledge of certain agencies," he said. He also said the "conspirators" would have involved officials from the Bureau of Immigration, Air Transportation Office and Subic Air International Air Charter Inc. (Subic Air), which allegedly provided the plane that flew Garcillano to Singapore.
