Camp Navarro, Calarian, Zamboanga City – September 29, 2021

The Western Mindanao Command recognized the invaluable support of civilian stakeholders and police counterparts during the flag-raising ceremony on September 27, 2021. Brig. Gen. Antonio Nafarrete, WestMinCom’s Deputy Commander for Internal Operations, led the activity held at Camp Navarro, Calarian, this city.

A Photo Slate was presented to Dr. Joshua Brillantes, Officer-in-Charge of the Department of Health-Zamboanga Peninsula-Center for Health Development (ZPCHD). This is in grateful appreciation for his donation of 150 Antigen Test Kits used by the command during the change of command ceremony on September 23.

Meanwhile, the Award of Chief of Staff, AFP Commendation Medal and Ribbon was presented to the officers and staff of the Regional Crime Laboratory Office 9 (RCLO9). This is in recognition of their invaluable assistance rendered to the Western Mindanao Command that led to the prompt and successful identification of the fatalities of the ill-fated Philippine Air Force Lockheed C-130 Hercules transport plane with tail number 5125 that crashed at Sitio Amman, Barangay Bangkal, Patikul, Sulu on July 4, 2021. The awardees were represented by Police Col. Arnold Dulnuan and Police Master Sergeant Rian Rodriguez.

According to Brig. Gen. Nafarrete, the RCLO9 worked even beyond normal working hours to fast-track the intensive examination of cadavers who were beyond recognition. “We appreciate the support and generosity of our partners who are always with us in all our ups and downs,” Brig. Gen. Nafarrete said.

The Command Staff, other officers, enlisted personnel, and civilian human resources of the WestMinCom attended the flag-raising and awarding ceremony.
