From the Philippine Information Agency (Sep 26): Tabak tenders sendoff party for Col. Nagrampa
The 1st Infantry (Tabak) Division on Wednesday evening tendered a farewell party for Colonel Agapito Carmelo Nagrampa Jr., the outgoing chief of staff of the Philippine Army’s premiere division.
The party, which was held at the Tennis Court, 1st Infantry Division, Camp Major Cesar San-an, Pulacan was attended by the officers and men of the division led by Tabak commander BGen. Gerardo Barrientos Jr. including civilian employees and guests.
The 55 year-old military official served the 1st Infantry Division as chief of staff from May 23, 2013 – Aug. 30, 2014.
He was a former commanding officer of 55th Infantry Battalion in Oroquieta City, commanding officer of Division Training Unit, and executive officer of 104th Infantry Brigade based in Sulu province.
After serving a year at the 1st Infantry Division, Nagrampa would be transferred to the Eastern Mindanao Command (EastMinCom) in Davao City. He will be replaced by Col. Manuel Felino Ramos.
BGen. Barrientos in his message said “we are here not necessarily to celebrate the departure of Col. Nagrampa but to pay tribute to the things he has done to the 1st Infantry Division and, at the same time, to welcome the new set of officers who are assigned in the division.”
Barrientos said the farewell party offers an opportunity for the officers to mingle with the troopers. “Coincidentally, in my 83rd day of service in the division, I happened to meet my classmates here,” Barrientos announced.
“We are here to unite our efforts in order for us to achieve our common goal—“unity and heroism,” Barrientos stressed.
Buoyed by the presence of troopers, Barrientos said “the gathering manifests the troopers unity as protectors and defenders of the land.”
Barrientos encouraged also the troopers to faithfully perform their duties and responsibilities, as “the people in the community have high expectation from them.
