From the Philippine News Agency (Jan 20): 401st Brigade chief to vacate post for a higher office

A top senior official of the army here in the region may soon vacate his post as the regional army commander here to assume a higher post at their national headquarters in Camp Emillio Aguinaldo.

He mentioned the successful joint AFP and PNP project of the community organizing for peace and development (COPD) in the municipalities of Loreto, Veruela and San Luis in the province of Agusan del Sur which he said have “strengthened the bond between the police, the military and the community sending a positive signal to the people even to the grassroots level.”

He also cited other military-PNP successful joint ventures such as the “Joint Plan Halalan” in 2013 which had contributed greatly to the success and peacefulness of the said electoral exercise, the “Plan Alalay Kalakal,” the “Movement and Visit Protocol,” the “Common Network Open Line Protocol24/7” the assistance from the PNP Special and Legal Teams, the PNP SOCO, the Joint Peace and Security Coordinating Councils.
