Incoming PSG chief a good choice --AFP

From the Philippine News Agency (May 23): Incoming PSG chief a good choice --AFP

The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) has said that incoming Presidential Security Group (PSG) commander Col. Rolando Bautista is a good choice for the position.

"He is a well-rounded officer. He is an operations man and also adept in intel. He is a good family man and service-oriented," AFP public affairs office chief Col. Noel Detoyato said.

Bautista was earlier named by President-elect Rodrigo Duterte as his PSG chief.

The former is a member of Philippine Military Academy (PMA) Class of 1985.

"He is the current brigade commander of the 104th Infantry Brigade based in Basilan.

"One of his significant operations resulted in the neutralization of Abu Anas, a foreign bomb making instructor, during an encounter in Al-Barka, Basilan in December 2015, and Mohammad Al Khatab, a Moroccan terrorist," Detoyato said.

He added that Bautista has existing PSG protocols and doctrines to guide him in protecting Duterte.

Bautista also had stints in the First Scout Ranger Regiment, United Nations Peacekeeping Forces, and various battalions and units in the AFP before reaching his current post at the 104th Infantry Brigade.
