From Malaya (Mar 4): Air Force chief steps down next week
A military official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the list includes AFP deputy chief of staff Lt. Gen. Edgar Fallorina, a classmate of AFP chief Gen. Hernando Iriberri at PMA Class 1983.
Another source named Fallorina, Maj. Gen. Raul del Rosario (Class 1984), chief of the 1st Air Division; Maj. Gen. Salvador Melchor Mison (Class 1984), chief of the Air Education and Training Command; and Maj. Gen. Galileo Kintanar (Class 1985), chief of Air Staff.
Other possible successors are 3rd Air Division commander Maj. Gen. Condrado Parra of PMA Class 1983 and AFP deputy chief of staff for plans Maj. Gen. Guillermo Molina of Class 1986.
Delgado is a member of the Philippine Military Academy Class of 1982. He assumed the top Air Force post in April 2014.
Canaya said Delgado made his last official visit to Air Force troops at the Benito Ebuen Air Base in Cebu yesterday. The air base is home to the Air Force’s 2nd Air Division.
He said Delgado chose Maj. Marjorie Mukay, the first female Air Force C-130 pilot, to be pilot-in-command of the C-130 plane which the outgoing Air Force chief boarded during his visit to Cebu.
Mukay graduated 10th in the Philippine Military Academy Class of 2005. She made her maiden flight as C-130 pilot-in-command in November last year, “which is one among the historic milestones” during Delgado’s tenure as Air Force chief, Padilla said.
