Brigadier General Ronald Villanueva assumes his new position on Monday as chief of the Intelligence Service of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, replacing Major General Arnold Quiapo.
The turnover of command is set at the ISAFP compound in Camp Aguinaldo in Quezon City.
Villanueva belongs to Philippine Military Academy “Sandiwa” Class ’85, and Quiapo is a member of the PMA “Matikas” Class of 1983.
The ISAFP top post is a two-star (major general) position.
Before taking the ISAFP helm, Villanueva was commander of the 1002nd Infantry Brigade of the Army’s 10th Infantry Division based in the Davao region.
He and 24 senior officers, including AFP chief General Ricardo Visaya, had their promotions recently confirmed by the Commission on Appointments.
ISAFP is tasked to provide support of intelligence operations for the Philippine National Police’s (PNP) in connection with President Duterte’s war on illegal drugs.
The drug war has claimed the lives of more than 3,000 people, but just a third are accounted for by the police, casualties of alleged gunfights during illegal-drug operations by the police and military.; the rest are what the PNP tags "deaths under investigation."
