Rear Admiral Edgar Abogado: the edge?
At least three names of candidates have been listed top contenders for the post of Flag-Officer-in-Command (FOIC) as Vice Admiral Alexander Pama retires next month. Pama will turn 56 years old on December 21, the mandatory retirement age in the service. Number one on the short list is Navy Vice Commander Rear Admiral Edgar Abogado, a member of the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) “Mapitagan” Class of 1980. Also contenders are Pama’s classmates Central Command (CentCom) commander Rear Admiral Jose Luis Alano (Class 1979), Philippine Fleet commander Rear Admiral Orwen Cortez (Class 1979), among others. Abogado, the former Chief Naval Staff (CNS), is classmate of outgoing Philippine National Police (PNP) Director General Nicanor Bartolome. Military insiders said Abogado’s much longer remaining years in the service give him the edge over the others. President Benigno Aquino III as Commander-in-Chief has the last say in promoting and appointing senior officers to higher position.
