The new head of the Philippine Army and 48 other officials of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) on Tuesday formally took their oaths before President Benigno Aquino III.
During a ceremony
in Malacañang, Aquino administered the oath of 49 newly appointed generals and
flag officers of the AFP including Army chief Major
General Hernando Iriberri, AFP spokesperson Major General Domingo
Tutaan, and Lt. Gen. Gregorio Pio Catapang Jr., commander of the North Luzon
Command.
Aquino appointed
Iriberri, the former spokesman of Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin, early
February during the retirement ceremony of former Army chief Lieutenant General
Noel Coballes.
Catapang's
promotion to a higher rank was also approved by the
bicameral Commission on Appointments last month.
