From InterAksyon (May 24): Army colonel named Duterte's senior military adviser

An Army colonel currently assigned to the Davao City-based Eastern Mindanao Command confirmed he has been chosen to be senior military adviser to presumptive president Rodrigo Duterte.

"Higher headquarters have already informed me about it (appointment). It's an honor to serve … Duterte," Colonel Louie Dagoy told InterAksyon.com by phone.

Dagoy, a member of the Philippine Military Academy "Hinirang" Class 1987, is chief of staff to Eastmincom head Lieutenant General Rey Leonardo Guerrero.

Earlier, Duterte named retired Armed Forces chief Hermogenes Esperon Jr. to be national security adviser and 104th Infantry Brigade commander Colonel Rolando Bautista (PMA "Sinagtala" Class '85) to head the Presidential Security Group.

Duterte has offered the Department of National Defense portfolio to Gilberto Teodoro, who held the post under former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
