From the Manila Bulletin (Jul 27): Major General Año is new 10th ID commander
DAVAO CITY– Major General Eduardo Año formally took over as the new commander of the 10th Infantry Division of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) in Mindanao.
Año succeeded Major General Ariel Bernardo who bowed out from military service in a formal turn over ceremony at the Camp Manuel T. Yan headquarters in Mawab town, Compostela Valley.
Before assuming the top post at the 10th ID, Año served as the head of the Intelligence Service of the AFP (ISAFP) in Camp Aguinaldo.
In his message, Año said he will continue the implementation of the Internal Peace and Security Plan or the Bayanihan campaign in the areas of jurisdiction of the 10th ID.
He also assured the local government units (LGUs) and the other peace and development stakeholders in the area of his support.
He said that the leadership of the 10th ID will give its full support to all the efforts to bring peace to residents and communities in the area.
Año also pointed out that the main responsibility of the Army is to pressure the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) and the New People’s Army (NPA) to end their armed struggle.
He added that he will also help convince the rebels to go back to the negotiating table and end the continuing armed conflicts that have already affected communities and the lives of people.
The formal turn-over ceremony at the 10th ID headquarters was administered by Lt. General Hernando Delfin Iriberri, commanding general of the Philippine Army.
