From the Philippine News Agency (Feb 5): Army conducts annual Senior Leaders' Conference

Senior leaders of the 85,000-strong Philippine Army (PA) were present at the annual Senior Leaders' Conference held in Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City Friday.

Army spokesman Col. Benjamin Hao said conference started with the year-end, fiscal year 2015 Program Performance and Budget Execution Review (PPBER) in the morning and the first semester command conference in the afternoon.

All 10 infantry division commanders were present, to include the Army major combat support and service support unit commanders, he added.

In line with this, Army commander, Lt. Gen. Eduardo M. Año ordered his field commanders to assume a non-partisan stance and ensure a safe and fair election in May 2016.

He reminded his field commanders that other threats to peace and security in the communities arise during the campaign period.

More importantly, Año advised his Army field commanders to concentrate all their efforts in ending the insurgency by 2016.

"The Army headquarters will prioritize its support to units who are directly engaged in operations at the national priority areas," he added.

"Everyone will contribute to the defeat of the NPA and the Abu Sayaff Group in Mindanao," the Army chief stressed.

The Senior Leaders Conference is a gathering of senior Army major unit commanders together with the members of the coordinating staff at the Headquarters Philippine Army.

Also present in the conference were representatives from the Department of National Defense and the General Headquarters, Armed of the Philippines.
