3ID gets new commander

From the Visayan Daily Star (Feb 17, 2023): 3ID gets new commander (By GILBERT P. BAYORAN)

Brig. Gen. Marion Sison

Lt. Gen. Benedict Arevalo yesterday confirmed that he will be replaced by his deputy, Brig. Marion Sison, as the incoming commander of the Army’s 3rd Infantry Division.

The new Command given to Sison, as approved by Malacañang, came more than two weeks after he assumed the position as Assistant Division Commander of 3ID.

Arevalo, who is also the chief of the Armed Forces of the Philippines Visayas Command, said the date of the 3ID turnover of command ceremony is yet to be determined, as of this time.


Army chief Lt. Gen. Romeo Brawner Jr. is expected to preside over the change of 3ID leadership, from Arevalo to Sison.

Arevalo also announced that the status of appointment of Negrense Col. Michael Samson as commander of Army’s 301st Infantry Brigade in Panay, has been changed from acting, to permanent in nature.

He replaced Sison, who relinquished the command of 301st Infantry Brigade, after being designated as 3ID deputy commander.


Samson, Sison and Brig. Leonardo Peña, commander of the 302nd Infantry Brigade stationed in Negros Oriental, are all members of the Philippine Military Academy Class of 1991.

The 3ID supervises the internal security operations of three Army infantry brigades 301st, 302nd and 303rd in Regions 6 and 7.
