Outgoing AFP chief visits Eastern Mindanao Command

From the Philippine News Agency (Apr 7): Outgoing AFP chief visits Eastern Mindanao Command
 
Outgoing Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) chief-of-staff Gen. Hernando Iriberri made his last official visit to the Davao City-based Eastern Mindanao Command (EMC) Wednesday.

Iriberri was received by EMC chief Lt. Gen. Rey Leonardo Guerrero and his staff and accorded military honors.

During his visit, he lauded the EMC for its efforts in winning and securing the peace in eastern Mindanao.

He reminded the troops about their role in the coming May polls, emphasizing that the Filipinos trust the AFP to make the elections safe and secure.

“Continue doing your job. Gawin lang natin palagi ang tama nang ang ating mga kababayan ay mamuhay ng payapa,” Iriberri said.

Following his visit in EMC, he also visited the Compostela Valley-based 10th Infantry Division and 25th Infantry Battalion, his former unit in Davao Del Sur in 2001.

Iriberri, a member of Philippine Military Academy Class of 1983, will retire from the service on April 22 after reaching the mandatory retirement age of 56.

He was appointed as AFP chief last July 10, 2015.
