Wesmincom chief eyed to replace Mapagu

From the Business Mirror (Oct 16): Wesmincom chief eyed to replace Mapagu

The Armed Forces’ Board of Generals (BOG) has asked President Aquino to consider the appointment of the Western Mindanao Command (Wesmincom) chief as Armed Forces vice chief of staff vice Lt. Gen. Reynaldo Mapagu, who will retire on Friday. The Wesmincom is based at Camp General Basilio Navarro in Zamboanga City. On Friday Mapagu will relinquish his post to his recommended successor, Lt. Gen. Noel Coballes, in a turnover ceremony at Camp Aguinaldo, Quezon City.... Coballes is a member of PMA Class 1980 that adopted as honorary members the four sisters (Ballsy, Viel, Pinky and Kris) of the President. Director General Nicanor Bartolome, National Police chief, and Vice Adm. Edmund Tan, Coast Guard commandant, are also members of the class. Recommended to replace Coballes at the Wesmincom was Maj. Gen. Rey Ardo, commander of the Army’s 6th Infantry “Kampilan” Division, based at Camp Siongco in Awang, Datu Odin Sinsuat, Maguindanao. Ardo is a member of PMA Class 1981. Sources said the BOG was still looking for a senior Army officer to replace Ardo....
