4TH MARINE BRIGADE FORMALLY WELCOMED ITS NEW COMMANDER
4th Marine "Makusug" Brigade formally welcomed its new commander in its change of command and retirement ceremony held at its headquarters Bgry Tandu Bato, Luuk, Sulu.
Col Vicente Mark Anthony P Blanco III took over the position of Col Hernanie S Songano in a ceremony presided by Philippine Marine Commandant MGen Ariel R Caculitan.
Col Hernanie S Songano bowed out from his service today after rendering his more than 32 years of service. During his stint as 4MBde Commander, their unit has significantly contributed to the Joint Task Force Sulu's campaign as they neutralized 148 ASG members, seized high powered firearms and documents of high value information, facilitated social integration programs for former ASG members who returned to the folds of law, and recovery of contrabands amounting to more than 38M pesos.
MGen Caculitan lauded Col Songano for his dedication to service in 4MBde and congratulated Col Blanco III for his new position. He added that Col Songano's retirement is a big loss to the organization for he will be missed; but a major gain for his family as he will now be full time husband and father hence 'Once a marine will always be a marine'. He then encouraged the men and women of 4th Marine Brigade to give their support to their new commander as they did to his predecessor.
The ceremony was graced by Joint Task Force Sulu and 11th Infantry Division Commander MGen William N Gonzales, BGen Rojas Deputy Commander WMC, 1103rd Bde Commander BGen Benjamin J Batara and 1102nd Bde Commander Col Giovanni T Franza.
