Brig. General Jon Aying, outgoing commander of the
Murcia-based 303rd Infantry Brigade (IB) of the Philippine Army, has been named
adopted son of Negros Occidental.
The recognition is stated in the resolution authored by
First District Board Member Renato Gustilo unanimously passed Wednesday by the
Provincial Board.
The resolution was handed to Aying by Vice Gov. Eugenio Jose
Lacson during the session.
“If Aying's predecessor Brig. General Maximo Caro was known
as ‘darling of the media,’ now Aying, the 22nd brigade commander of 303rd, is
adopted son of Negros Occidental, having greatly contributed a lot in
neutralizing insurgency in the province by way of implementing the Marching for
Peace program,” Gustilo said.
He added, “The Army through Aying has engaged good
relationship with the civilians not as soldiers, but as public servants.”
Marching for Peace was conceptualized by former 303rd IB
commander Brig. General Oscar Lactao, and Aying implemented the program by
giving peace a chance for development the province, the board member said.
“I did not expect this to happen, to become an adopted son
of Negros Occidental. Because I came here to serve the people for peace as
commander of 303rd Infantry Brigade. This is the first time that the province
has adopted a brigade commander as a son. This is a great pride and honor, to
become one of the Negrenses. Wherever you are, do not forget that we are in the
same family of Negrenses," Aying said.
Although he will be leaving the province soon, Aying said he
will still offer his services as Negros Occidental’s adopted son.
Aying is set for reassignment to the AFP headquarters in Camp Aguinaldo
