Dolina is a seasoned combat officer who rose through the ranks from being a platoon leader, company commander and later on the commanding officer of the 8th Infantry Division’s 52nd Infantry Battalion in Eastern Samar.

He also held various important positions in the Army and in the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP).
