Bautista to receive achievement award at PMA Alumni meet

From the Philippine Daily Inquirer (Jan 25): Bautista to receive achievement award at PMA Alumni meet

Newly designated Armed Forces of the Philippines Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Emmanuel Bautista and other ranking officials will be awarded the Highest Command and Achievement Award at the annual meeting of their alma mater on Saturday. The Philippine Military Academy Alumni Association will hold its annual general meeting at the AFP Theater, the military public affairs said in a statement.
 

Bautista, a member of PMA Class of 1981, earned the achievement for being named the 44th AFP Chief. He also received the same award last year as Commanding General of the Philippine Army.
 
Other recipients for the highest award are: Police Director General Alan Purisima of the Philippine National Police; VAdm Jose Luis Alano of the Philippine Navy; and VAdm Rodolfo Isorena of the Philippine Coast Guard. Also, Department of Transportation Secretary Emilio Abaya of PMA Class of 1988 will receive the Prominently Meritorious Achievement Award.
 
The meeting will “review, amend, and ratify PMAAAI’s bylaws, resolutions, and acts by the board and management,” with Retired LtGen Edgardo E Batenga of PMA Class of 1963 to head the meeting as Chairman and CEO.
 
Interior Secretary Manuel “Mar” Roxas, an adopted member of the PMA Class of 1984, will be the guest of honor and speaker of general membership meeting. “Since PMA graduates make up most of the leaders of our security institutions, it is imperative for us to revisit our guiding principles and renew our commitment and roles as one of the pillars that strengthen our nation,” Bautista said in the statement.
