Former
Philippine Navy flag officer-in-command (FOIC) Alexander Pama formally assumed
his new post on Monday as executive director of the National Disaster Risk
Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) during a simple turnover ceremony
held at Camp Aguinaldo ,
Quezon City
President
Benigno S. Aquino III designated Pama to the NDRRMC post, replacing retired
Army Gen. Eduardo Del Rosario who filed his irrevocable resignation on April
24, citing health reasons.
The
Department of National Defense (DND) said Pama was chosen among a short list of
contenders for the NDRRMC post "based on his experience with the defense
department and with the armed forces."
Pama,
a member of the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) Class of 1979, served as Navy
chief until his retirement on Dec. 21, 2012.
It
was under Pama’s watch when the Navy acquired from the United States its first
Hamilton-class cutter, the former USCGC Hamilton, which has been renamed BRP
Gregorio Del Pilar and commissioned into the Philippine Navy amid tensions in
the West Philippine Sea.
