401st Brigade, Philippine Army has a new commander

From the Philippine News Agency (Jan 21): 401st Brigade, Philippine Army has a new commander

The 401st “Team Unity” Brigade of the Philippine Army has a new commander after a turnover of command of the said brigade was conducted Wednesday afternoon.

Major Christian Uy, the 4th Infantry “Diamond” Division, Philippine Army spokesman, said that the change of command rites was presided over by Major General Oscar T. Lactao, commanding general of the 4ID, PA.

Replacing outgoing 401st Brigade chief BGen. Gregory Cayetano, Uy said, is Col. Alexander Macario, whom Cayetano called as “his equally efficient and effective teammate.”

In an interview with the outgoing 401st Brigade chief last Monday, he said Col. Macario can do more and introduce some new improvements in the brigade.

Cayetano during the Monday interview also mentioned that he will be moving up to the Army general headquarters in Camp Aguinaldo to assume his post as assistant chief for Education and Training of the Armed Forces (G-8).

BGen. Cayetano was the guest of honor and speaker during the PNP’s Monday flag-raising rites.

The Army’s 401st Brigade operates on the two provinces of Agusan and Surigao del Sur.
