LAGANGILANG, Abra -- The new commander of the 503rd Infantry Brigade,
Philippine Army based in the province, vowed to sustain and
maintain the strictness of discipline in order to continue enjoying the trust
and help of the civilians in the attainment of peace and order.
Col. Roy T. Devesa took over the command from General Paul T. Atal.
Devesa, who was once assigned in the Cordilleras during his younger years as a soldier, asserted to continue to work on the mission of the unit particularly in keeping the peace and order of the provinces of Abra, Apayao, Benguet, Kalinga and Mountain Province where the Brigade operates.
Prior to his current assignment here, Devesa served as Deputy Brigade Commander of the 602nd Infantry Brigade of the 6th Infantry Division of the Philippine Army based at Camp Robert Eduard M. Lucero in Carmen, North Cotabato.
Meanwhile, the 50th “The Defender” Infantry Battalion (IB) welcomed LtC. Gulliver L. Señires as its new Commanding Officer last September 7 at the Army headquarters in Sitio Barbarit, Brgy. Tagodtod, Lagangilang.
Señires replaces LtC. Edmund D. Tubiera who will be assigned in Upi, Gamu, Isabela.
Major General Lysander A. Suerte, Division Commander of the 5th Infantry Division who presided over the change of command ceremony, appreciated the attendance of many civilians, local government units and the Philippine National Police headed by PSSupt. Antonio P. Bartolome.
Suerte was happy to know that people in Abra no longer fear or hate the Philippine Army today but love and trust them as real peacemakers and heroes.
