Army chief meets with PA-MSAB

From the Philippine News Agency (Feb 21): Army chief meets with PA-MSAB

Army commander Major Gen. Hernando Iriberri met with the members of the Philippine Army Multi-Sectoral Advisory Board (PA-MSAB) during its quarterly meeting on Friday at Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City.

The meeting was attended by the members of the PA-MSAB led by its chairman, Dr. Jesus P. Estanislao.

Also present were advisory board members Victoria P. Garchitorena, chair of the Resource Generation Committee; Prof. Solita Collas-Monsod, chair of the Assessment and Review Committee; Mel Senen S. Sarmiento, chair of the Governance Committee; Atty. Alexander L. Lacson, chair of the Strategic Communications Committee; Samira Ali Gutoc-Tomawis; Dr. Carolina G. Hernandez; Dr. Jennifer Santiago-Oreta; Oscar S. Rodriguez; and Director Alberto A. Lim.

Senior staff officers of the PA were also present during the meeting.

The PA-MSAB is composed of representatives from key sectors of society who are willing to partner with and help the Army pursue its transformation initiatives. It provides external advice in the implementation of the Army Transformation Roadmap (ATR), hence crucial as the Army continuously realizes the visions of the ATR.

Iriberri said that the Army will continue to pursue the goals of the ATR.

“As the new CGPA (Commanding General Philippine Army) I’m 100 percent in support of the ATR. Let us work together to attain the goals of the Army Transformation Roadmap. With the guidance of the MSAB, this will be realized because we are all in this together,” he added.

Estanislao, for his part, commended Iriberri for his commitment and “expressing himself from the heart.”

The other members of the MSAB seconded Estanislao’s comment and added that they were very glad to hear the word “continuity.”
