In his assumption speech, Baluyan said: “As I take the helm of the 302nd IB, I am fully aware of the herculean tasks placed upon my shoulders."
He urged the soldiers to join forces with him in achieving their vision and mission.
“Given the complexity of the security environment in our area of responsibility, we must not lose sight of the fact that the military solution is not enough to solve this multi-faceted insurgency problem," he said.
For his part, Dolina commended Madriaga for some of his achievements in the brigade as well as in the province and challenged Baluyan to continue and maintain the operational measures and to strive more to bring peace and development in the area. (jct/PIA7 Negros Oriental)
