Army in Abra welcomes new commanders

From the Philippine Information Agency (Sep 14): Army in Abra welcomes new commanders

LAGANGILANG, Abra -- The new commander of  the 503rd Infantry Brigade, Philippine Army  based in the province,  vowed to  sustain and maintain the strictness of discipline in order to continue enjoying the trust and help of the civilians in the attainment of peace and order.

Col. Roy T. Devesa   took over  the command  from General Paul T. Atal.

Devesa, who was once assigned in the Cordilleras during his younger years as a soldier, asserted  to continue to work on the mission of the unit particularly in keeping the peace and order of the provinces  of Abra, Apayao, Benguet, Kalinga and Mountain Province where the Brigade operates.

Prior to his current assignment  here, Devesa served as Deputy Brigade Commander of the 602nd Infantry Brigade of the 6th Infantry Division of the Philippine Army based at Camp Robert Eduard M. Lucero in Carmen, North Cotabato.

Meanwhile, the 50th “The Defender” Infantry Battalion (IB) welcomed LtC. Gulliver L. Señires as its new  Commanding Officer last September 7 at the Army headquarters in Sitio Barbarit, Brgy. Tagodtod, Lagangilang.

Señires replaces LtC. Edmund D. Tubiera  who will be assigned in Upi,  Gamu, Isabela.

Major General Lysander A. Suerte, Division Commander of the 5th Infantry Division who presided over the change of command ceremony, appreciated the attendance of many civilians, local government units and the Philippine National Police headed by PSSupt. Antonio P. Bartolome.

Suerte was happy to know that  people in Abra  no longer fear or hate the Philippine Army today but love and trust them as real peacemakers and heroes.
