FORT BONIFACIO, Metro Manila – Newly designated Commanding General of the Philippine Army (CGPA) Maj. Gen. Romeo S. Brawner, Jr., laid out his three-fold plan for the 100,000-strong Philippine Army in his assumption speech today, December 10, at the Headquarters Philippine Army Grandstand (HPAG).

The 65th CGPA said that he will focus on taking care of the health, morale, and welfare of troops; honing their skills and competencies; ensuring that all resources will reach all Army units.

“We will make sure that the Army soldier and his family are well-taken care of—the soldier after all is the most precious resource of the Army. We will make sure that soldiers are healthy not just physically but also mentally,” the CGPA remarked.

“We will enhance further the competencies and skills of our soldiers and our units so that they are well-trained and well equipped and well-prepared to meet the challenges of fighting the enemies of the state while protecting our people.

Moreover, Maj. Gen. Brawner said that the command will push down the needed resources to field units nationwide. The CGPA said these plans will further capacitate troops to “effectively and efficiently” comply with the Commander-in-Chief’s mandate to end the local communist armed conflict by June 2022. He also vowed to help the Commission on Elections (Comelec) pursue a credible, orderly, and honest May 2022 national election.

Maj. Gen. Brawner also commended his immediate predecessor Lt. Gen. Andres Centino who was designated as the 57th AFP Chief of Staff on November 12, 2021.

Pres. Rodrigo Duterte appointed Maj. Gen. Brawner’s as the 65th CGPA on December 7. Under Maj. Gen. Brawner’s leadership, the 4th Infantry Division neutralized high-ranking CTG personalities in Northern Mindanao and Caraga regions including Jorge Madlos alias Ka Oris, head of the NPA’s National Operational Command.
