Posted to Kalinaw News (Dec 30, 2021): Newly promoted Army Chief receives military honors



FORT BONIFACIO, Metro Manila – Newly promoted Army Commanding General (CGPA) Lt. Gen. Romeo S. Brawner, Jr. received arrival honors in recognition of his well-deserved promotion today, December 29, at the Army’s main headquarters in Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City.

A battalion-sized contingent of troops tendered arrival honors for Lt. Gen. Brawner who was accompanied by his wife Mrs. Melody Mariele V. Brawner.

President and Commander in Chief Rodrigo R. Duterte administered the conferment of ranks to Lt. Gen. Brawner, AFP Chief of Staff Gen. Andres C. Centino, and Commanding General of the Philippine Air Force Lt. Gen. Connor Anthony D. Canlas, Sr. yesterday, December 28, at Malacañang Palace’s Rizal Hall.

After the arrival honors, the CGPA held a hybrid “Talk to Troops” via face-to-face and video teleconference at the Philippine Army Officers’ Club. The Army’s general, technical, and personal staff attended the activity face to face while officers and enlisted personnel from Philippine Army Major Units (PAMUs) attended the event virtually.

“We gather here today to give thanks to another milestone in my military career — my promotion to the next higher rank. But more than that, this activity is also dedicated to you, the 100,000-strong personnel of the Philippine Army. Truly, you have enabled me to achieve another victory in my military career,” Lt. Gen. Brawner said.

“My promotion is more than just a sign of my hard work in our profession. These three stars that I bear represent my vision to bring to the Filipino people across the three main islands of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao our collective goal of lasting peace and sustainable development in our country,” the CGPA remarked.
