AFP chief gets 4th star

From InterAksyon (Jan 30): AFP chief gets 4th star



Armed Forces of the Philippines chief of staff Emmanuel Bautista was promoted Wednesday to General, the highest rank in the military, and received his fourth star from Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin, himself a former AFP chief.

Meanwhile, Air Force Brigadier General Rolando Jungco, current head of the Office of The Adjutant General, has been named the new commander of the AFP’s Civil Relations Service.

Jungco, of Philippine Military Academy “Sandigan” Class of 1982, finished his Masters in National Resource Strategy at the ICAF National Defense University in Washington DC. He will replace Major General Rolando Tenefrancia, who has reportedly been designated head of the Office of The Inspector General. Jungco will turn 56, the mandatory retirement age, on May 28, 2014. A native of Batangas, Jungco was assigned to the CRS in 2008, helping develop new concepts and methodologies in civil-military operations. He received his first general’s star on March 24, 2012.
