MANILA – Some 122 student officers have successfully hurdled the Command and General Staff Course Class (CGSC) Class 72, which would provide the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) with its next generation of leaders.

In a statement over the weekend, AFP public affairs office chief Lt. Col. Enrico Gil Ileto said these officers graduated from the prestigious CGSC last June 23 during rites held at Camp Aguinaldo, Quezon City.

"The CGSC is a course taken by AFP officers which aims to equip them with necessary skills for higher responsibilities and to become effective military commanders, leaders, and managers," he added.


The guest-of-honor for this event was AFP chief Gen. Andres Centino who expressed confidence that these newly-graduated CGSC-qualified officers will uphold the professionalism and excellence of the Armed Forces.

"Remember that the knowledge and skills you have acquired come with a responsibility to serve our country with honor, integrity and dedication. Each of you is part of the proud legacy of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, joining the ranks of leaders and visionaries who have come before you and served our nation with distinction," Centino said.

The CGSC Class 72 consists of 122 student officers from the AFP's major services, technical administrative services, and other agencies.

Ileto said these military officials were declared graduates after completing the course for nine months.
