From InterAksyon (Jan 27): Senior AFP officers reshuffled

President Benigno Aquino III has approved the recommendation to reshuffle at least two key positions in the General Headquarters of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) based in Camp Aguinaldo in Quezon City, according to military spokesman Colonel Arnulfo Marcelo Burgos Jr.

Rear Admiral Edgardo Tamayo will assume the post of Vice Commander of the Philippine Navy, replacing Rear Admiral Edgar Abogado who becomes the new Commander of the AFP Central Command.

Tamayo is set to relinquish his post as AFP Deputy Chief of Staff for Logistics (J-4) to Brigadier Gen. Gamaliel Cruz, current Chief of the Army Bids and Awards Committee and former Philippine Army Assistant Chief of Staff for Logistics (G4).

Rear Admiral Roberto Santos is also set to become Deputy Chief of Staff for Education and Training (J8), replacing Rear Admiral Cornelio Dela Cruz Jr. who retires in February.
Santos is the current Commander of the Naval Sea Systems Command.

Colonel Ramon Roque Jueves will take over the AFP Real Estate Office (AFPREO), replacing Colonel Washington Catameo who is concurrent Acting Chief of AFPREO.

The change of command for J-4, J-8 and AFPREO will be held on Monday (January 28). “The constant and progressive changes are part of AFP’s dynamism that enables us to cope with the multifaceted challenges of the security environment. The changes go alongside our continued efforts to build a more professional, accountable, and transparent military organization,” AFP Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Emmanuel Bautista said.
