From ABS-CBN (Apr 2): Wescom chief vows to uphold claim over West PH Sea
Major General Rustico Guerrero, the new chief of the Armed Forces of the Philippines Western Command (AFP Wescom) based in Palawan, has vowed to continue upholding the country's territorial claim over the West Philippine Sea.
This came after AFP Chief Emmanuel Bautista ordered Guerrero to protect the country's maritime domain in the disputed area.
Guerrero gave his commitment when he assumed his new post in a turn-over ceremony.
Guerrero replaced Lieutenant General Juancho Sabban, who retired after serving the military for 39 years.
In the same ceremony, Bautista commended Sabban for being able to maintain the country's "credible defense posture" against China in the West Philippine Sea.
