As assistant chief of the Unified Command Staff (U5) for Plans and Programs, his training will prove to be useful in the plans and programs of the SoLCom,” Major Angelo Guzman, chief, Public Information and spokesperson said in his message today.

“Having learned of these new concepts and cascading them to subordinate units will be very beneficial to SoLCom and the AFP by broadening our knowledge on national security, “Guzman added.

“Certainly, it widens SoLCom's understanding on the military’s role in combating various threats and complements our view on how to protect our people and vital assets in the CALABARZON, MIMAROPA and Bicol Regions,” Guzman said.
