FORT ANDRES BONIFACIO, Taguig City (DWDD) – Immediately after the Change of Command Ceremony, the newly appointed Army Commanding General, Major General Macairog S. Alberto took the opportunity to gather the commanders of Army Major Units and his staff to communicate his thrust and guidance on Monday, October 15, 2018.
Major General Alberto was designated as the 60th Commanding General of the Philippine Army replacing Lieutenant General Rolando Joselito D. Bautista who just reached his mandatory age of retirement. The new CGPA who belongs to PMA Class of 1986 is known for his humility, diligence and well-roundedness. He is a bemedalled officer and possessed all the qualities of a leader that makes him fit to command the AFP’s premier land force.
As he addressed the Major Unit Commanders together with the HPA staff, he humbly expressed his gratitude for the warm reception. He conveyed that whatever his predecessor has established, he will just sustain it. He said that the current command thrusts will just be enhanced by putting premium on pursuing the Army’s Capability Upgrade Program in order to build an agile and responsive force, enhancing the Forward Health Service Support (FHSS), institutionalizing the Combat Stress Management System, and improvement of leadership training particularly for Senior Leaders.
Part of the PA Capability Upgrade is the enhancement of the current Army intelligence capabilities, continuous development of the Information Communication and Technology, enhancement of information operation, and the empowerment of the reserve force.
Through the enhancement of the FHSS, the Army aims to ensure that the scope and quality of health services offered to the troops meet professional standards at all times.
Moreover, with the institutionalization of the Combat Stress Management System, the troops shall be better afforded with psychological support to manage or to prevent possible Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, a common issue faced my military personnel all over the world. It also aims to institute and increase funding in support to the family welfare advancement programs to impress the troops that the Army is putting high-premium on their families’ welfare – a contributory factor that will boost the excellent performance of our soldiers.
Lastly, the Command aims to pursue leadership training for its senior leaders, especially those who will be occupying General rank position, to ensure that they have the expertise in their domains and in decision-making process.
“We will continue to provide much needed support to sustain the ground operations of our troops to attain peace and security in our country following the values of honor, patriotism, and duty while advancing our ultimate goal of becoming a world-class Army,” said Maj. Gen. Alberto. OACPA / MCAG
