AFP lauds CA for confirmation of Iriberri, 104 other ranking officers

From the Philippine News Agency (Sep 9): AFP lauds CA for confirmation of Iriberri, 104 other ranking officers

The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) expressed its appreciation to the Commission on Appointments (CA) for the confirmation of AFP chief-of-staff Gen. Hernando DCA Iriberri and 104 other ranking military officers on Wednesday.

"The Chief-of-Staff, AFP General Hernando DCA Iribberi and 104 other generals, flag officers and fullcolonels of the AFP were confirmed by the Commission on Appointments today during their plenary session at the Senate this afternoon," AFP spokesperson Col. Restituto Padilla said.

Iriberri was appointed as AFP head after the retirement of then AFP chief-of-staff Gen. Gregorio Catapang last July 10.

The former is a member of Philippine Military Academy Class (PMA) of 1983.

"The AFP extends its appreciation and thanks to the members of the Commission for their continued support and due diligence to ensure the integrity of the career progression of the AFP and that all these officers are deserving of their appointment to their higher rank," Padilla said.

"General Iriberri personally thanked the Commission and the Senate President and assured them of the AFP's high regard for the constitutional provision of civilian supremacy over the military," the AFP spokesperson further said.
