“I attribute all the accomplishments of the Western Mindanao Command and its subordinate units to the local government units, local chief executives, all our partners and stakeholders, and the communities who never cease to support us in all our endeavors,” said Lt. Gen. Cirilito Sobejana, commander of the Western Mindanao Command.
“The AFP’s excellent rating of +74% in the 2019 nationwide survey conducted by the Social Weather Station (SWS) is another way of looking at the Filipino’s support to the organization that we have felt in every aspect of our operations the past years-from the vibrant welcome we received from the communities as we conduct our peace and development operations to the stronger partnership we have with our stakeholders,” Lt. Gen. Sobejana expressed.
