From the Manila Bulletin (Apr 24): Soldier honored
The United Nations Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan (UNMOGIP) has honored and awarded a Filipino soldier with the UN Mission Service Medals at the UNMOGIP headquarters in Islamabad.
The award was bestowed on Major Ricado M. Lucero Jr. who served as UNMOGlP’s Chief Operations Officer and the third-in-command of the mission since February 2012. His tour-of-duty had been extended twice this year. UNMOGIP has a pending request for the further extension of the tour of duty of Major Lucero until August, 2013.
Major General Young Bum Choi, UNMOGIP’s Chief Military Observer and Head of the Mission, informed Philippine Ambassador to Pakistan Domingo D. Lucenano Jr. at the sidelines of the awarding ceremony that he has chosen Lucero as his “right hand man” because of the Filipino’s professional military training and competence. UNMOGIP has been operating in the Kashmir region for over 60 years.
