From the Philippine Information Agency (Jun 16): Army's 59th infantry battalion welcomes new commander

The Philippine Army's 59th Infantry Battalion has welcomed its new commander who was installed during a change of command ceremony at Camp Capinpin in Tanay Rizal earlier this month.

Installed was Lt. Col. Andres Ferrer of the second Infantry Division replacing Col. Marceliano Teofilo.

The ceremony was officiated by assistant division Commander Brig. Gen. Amador Tabuga who expressed full support to both officials.

Teofilo currently serves as the infantry division chief of staff while Ferrer is the former battalion commander of 16th Infantry (Maglilingkod) Battalion based in Surigao del Sur which supports the operational requirements of Eastern Mindanao Command (EASTMINCOM).

Teofilo was also given various awards during the ceremony such as a military merit medal, a command plaque and a plaque of recognition from the Provincial Government of Palawan for services rendered.
