Rear Admiral Raul Ubando to Colonel Rolando Joselito D. Bautista, both members
of Philippine Military Academy (PMA) Sandiwa Class ’85.
“I urge all of you to support your new Commander. Extend
your cooperation and exhibit your best performances you are known for. Ensure
the safety of our key policymakers and decision makers,” Visaya said.
He added “they toil so much to arrive at crucial decisions
to steer our country forward and build the nation. They as much deserve to be
protected and secured to freely do their respective jobs. We owe it to them and
to the people to guarantee their security and protection from threat and harm.”

Commander is known for, he is confident that Bautista will be able to deliver
his mandate.

assume a new post as Inspector General of the Philippine Navy and boost Colonel
Bautista, he said “the Philippines
“The defense unit endured and won against threats to the
safety of 20 high-level foreign leaders and around 10,000 other members of the
delegation. From their cordial welcome to their safe send-off, we credit the
success of the two-day international conference to the competence, commitment
and professionalism exhibited by every member of the PSG.”
“We trust Colonel Bautista to ably do the share as he will
lead this PSG, not only in thwarting all categories of threats, but equally so
by continuing the legacy of protecting key figures that our people trust to
lead this country and bring this nation to live in an atmosphere of peace,
stability and development,” Visaya said.
