He said his new assignment took effect in November 8 but the official documents only came out two days ago.“My new assignment is due to the vacancy created in military. Some are getting out, some are getting up. We take command of the posts left by those promoted,” Flores said. Flores’ stint in the Task Force Davao is the shortest as he handled the post only for nine months since February 28, 2012, when he relieved Colonel Rey Leonardo Guerrero, now commander of the 701st IB based in Davao Oriental. He said he will relieve Colonel Glorioso Miranda, who will be assigned as deputy commandant of the AFP Command and General Staff College.
