Army Colonel Francisco Delfin is the incoming commander of the 303rd Infantry Brigade with headquarters in Brgy. Minoyan, Murcia, Negros Occidental.
Maj. Gen. Rey Leonardo Guerrero, 3rd Infantry Division commander, said yesterday that Delfin has been ordered to assume the 303rd Infantry Brigade command on June 10.
Delfin, a member of the Philippine Military Academy Class 1985, will replace Brig. Gen. Jon Aying, who has already been designated as the assistant AFP Deputy Chief of Staff for Plans (J5) last month.
Delfin is now the Inspector General of the 3rd Infantry Division with headquarters at Camp Macario Peralta in Jamindan, Capiz.
Military records show that Delfin, a Capiceño, holds the degree of Master of Science in Defense and Strategic Studies from the University of Madras in India. He used to be the commanding officer of the 1st Infantry Battalion in Luzon.
Delfin is the recipient of numerous medals, including the Distinguished Service Star.
Aying and his predecessor, Maj. Gen. Oscar Lactao, who is now the commanding general of the 4th Infantry Division, have been instrumental in the peace and development activities in the conflict-affected communities in Negros Occidental, also through the effort of Gov. Alfredo Marañon Jr.
The signing of Negros Occidental as peaceful and ready for further development is expected to be declared within this month by the Provincial Peace and Order Council, Planning Development Officer Ma. Lina Sanogal said.
