New military chief assures continuity of programs

From the Philippine Information Agency (Jul 16): New military chief assures continuity of programs

CAMP MELCHOR, DELA CRUZ, Gamu, Isabela  -- Lieutenant Colonel Resureccion Mariano, newly-installed 5th Infantry Division, Philippine Army civil military operations battalion chief, has assured that all programs and projects under his command will continuously be implemented. 

Mariano made the assurance as he took over the command from Colonel Loreto Magundayao who is now assistant chief of staff for civil military operations.

Mariano said all programs and projects that have been started by his predecessor will be finished under his leadership especially when the projects are for public’s welfare.

The civil military operation battalion is part of the Army’s operations unit which is mandated to deliver social services to the underserved and least served populace in the country.

The CMO conducts free medical and dental services, help the local government in rescue and relief operations, build schools and houses for less fortunate individuals and other socio-civic activities that benefits the civilian population.

Mariano will also instill the spirit of “bayanihan” to relive the spirit of unity, oneness, and volunteerism to the public as this program is being pushed by the present Armed Forces of the Philippines chief of Staff General Emmanuel Bautista.
