Armed Forces of the Philippines(AFP)

Goodmorning sir/madame. This is a query only for personal purposes.

1) Can resigned individuals with trainee classification (such as Candidate Soldier/Officer Candidate/Cadet) may still apply to return to service granting their resignation is due to their own voluntary decision prior reapplication to the force years later? 

2) What is the minimum number of years before an enlisted personnel may resign? What about for the officers?

I am anticipating your response to my queries. God bless sir/madame!
