3rd ID head thanks media support

From the Philippine Information Agency (Nov 25): 3rd ID head thanks media support

Major General Rey Leonardo Guerrero has moved from the Visayas to assume his new post as Commander of the Eastern Mindanao Command (EastMinCom) effective November 21, 2015.

This was confirmed by Major Ray C. Tiongson, Chief of the Division Public Affairs Office of the 3rd Infantry “Spearhead” Division of the Philippine Army based at Camp Peralta in Jamindan, Capiz.

Before assuming the post, however, Gen. Guerrero took time to express his gratitude to the members of the private and government media organizations in Western Visayas and Negros Island Region during a recent fellowship night here.

He handed in Certificates of Appreciation to media practitioners who attended the event “in grateful recognition of the unwavering support extended during my stint as the Commander of the 3rd Infantry (Spearhead) Division, Philippine Army”.

This support, according to Gen. Guerrero, has contributed significantly to the attainment of the Division’s peace, security and development thrusts, programs and operations in Western and Central Visayas.

“Our joint commitment to serve the people and their communities have indeed contributed in the attainment of the objectives of the Internal Peace and Security Plan “Bayanihan” and the Army Transformation Roadmap,” said Gen. Guerrero, who served here from September of last year.

The assumption of Gen. Guerrero during a turnover of command held November 21 was led by Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) Chief of Staff Gen. Hernando Delfin Carmelo A. Iriberri. EastMinCom is based at Camp Panacan in Davao City.
