ISAFP head now commander of 10th Infantry Division

From the Philippine News Agency (Jul 23): ISAFP head now commander of 10th Infantry Division

Philippine Army (PA) commander Lt. Gen. Hernando Iriberri on Wednesday announced that Major Gen. Eduardo Ano, the incumbent head of the Intelligence Service of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (ISAFP), was appointed to command the Compostela Valley-based 10th Infantry Division.

Ano, a member of the Philippine Military Academy Class of 1983, will be replacing Major Gen. Ariel Bernardo who will be retiring on July 25 at the mandatory retirement age of 56.

"I expect him (Ano) to do well, he knows very well the security situation on the ground, I expect him to focus on his area of operations (AOR) (and) I expect him to hit the ground running," Iriberri said in Filipino.

Ano's newly AOR includes Compostela Valley and Davao Provinces, known bailiwicks of the New People's Army (NPA).

"He has a good record while commanding the 201st Infantry Brigade (which is based in Quezon), I'm sure he will be bringing with him his style of leadership and his experience in ISAFP, it will come in handy, I expect him to perform outstandingly," the PA chief stressed.

Ano took over the helm of the ISAFP only last year.
