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.
