New TF Davao commander willing to take on challenge

From the Mindanao Times (Dec 5): New TF Davao commander willing to take on challenge

The new commander of Task Force Davao has big shoes to fill after Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio gave high marks to his predecessor. Col. Casiano C. Monilla has already set his mind on meeting the mayor’s expectation when he replaced former TF Davao commander, Col. Marcos Norman S. Flores Jr., who was transferred to the 1002nd Infantry Brigade.

Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio gave a 9 out of 10 rating to Col. Flores during his nine-month stay as TF commander. “He (Flores) did very well,” Duterte-Carpio said. Duterte-Carpio said that nine months was a short time but Flores already proved his leadership and worth as TF Davao’s commander. “The usual expectations that we have as Davaoeños with regards to our TF commanders that they keep Davao City terror-free,” said the Mayor. Adding that, they would keep the trust and confidence of citizens on TF Davao.

Monilla said that he is willing to take up the challenge on the full support of his troops. He revealed that they are still looking for ways to improve the service of TF Davao, using the same mechanisms established by the former commander.
