From the Philippine News Agency (Apr 4):
De Leon named PA's 5th Infantry Division commander
Major Gen. Benito T. De Leon
was appointed commander of the Isabela-based 5th Infantry Division of the
Philippine Army effective Friday.
The turnover ceremony was held at Camp Melchor F. Dela Cruz in Upi, Gamu,
Isabela and attended by Army commander Lt. Gen. Hernando DCA Iriberri.
De
Leon
replaced Brig. Gen. Ricardo B. Jalad, who retired from the service after
reaching the mandatory retirement age of 56.
De Leon vowed to continue
the “Bayanihan” Team operations in consonance with the Internal Peace and
Security Plan (IPSP) to maintain the momentum of the 5th Infantry Division
efforts towards a peaceful, progressive and prosperous Northern
Luzon.
The newly installed 5th Infantry Division commander is not new to Cagayan Valley
because he hails from Tuguegarao
City. He belongs to
Philippine Military Academy (PMA) Class of 1981.
Before taking the helm of 5th Infantry Division, he was the commander of
Training and Doctrine Command, Philippine Army.
