The Army's 62nd Infantry Battalion in northern Negros will have a new commander effective November 5.
Lt. Col. Rommel Cordova said yesterday that he is leaving
the 62IB for another assignment in Metro Manila.
Cordova served the 62IB for almost two years.
During his stint as 62IB commander, Northern Negros was
among the areas in Negros Occidental declared as peaceful and ready for further
development in June last year.
Lt. Col. Arnel Cabugon, the executive officer of the 301st
Infantry Brigade in Iloilo
Maj. Gen. Rey Leonardo Guerrero, 3ID commanding general,
will preside over the change of command, tomorrow in Brgy. Bato, Sagay City.
Cordova yesterday gave Gov. Alfredo Marañon Jr. a plaque of
appreciation, in recognition for his support to the 62IB in attaining the
objectives of IPSP Bayanihan, and in the declaration of Negros Occidental as
peaceful and ready for further development.
Guerrero is expected to confer on Cordova a Military Merit
Medal, in recognition of his leadership and exploits in northern Negros .
More than a month ago, Lt. Col. Eugene Badua also took over
the 11IB command from Lt. Col. Paulito Idul, who is now commanding the 12th
Infantry Battalion.
The 62nd and 11th Infantry Battalions in northern and
central Negros are under the supervision of
the 303rd Infantry Brigade.
