Outgoing AFP Chief-of-Staff Gen. Hernando DCA Iriberri
ordered all military units to ensure peace and order in the coming May 9
elections.
This was stressed by AFP spokesperson Brig. Gen. Restituto
Padilla in a message Wednesday when asked on what orders Iriberri has given his
commanders during his last command conference in Camp
Aguinaldo , Quezon City
"Main agenda was AFP preparations for the national
election this May. Gen. Iriberri since his assumption last year has been
visiting all AFP units to reiterate his instruction and share best practices in
ensuring the AFP delivers on its mandated tasks as a deputized agency of
COMELEC (Commission on Elections)," he added.
Iriberri will retire on Friday after reaching the military
mandatory retirement age of 56. He is a member of Philippine Military Academy
Class of 1983.
He was appointed the 46th AFP chief last July 10, 2015.
Prior that Iriberri was named head of the Philippine Army in February 7, 2014.
"In 2010, Gen. Iriberri was a brigade commander in the
then infamous election hotspot Abra. He was credited for significantly
contributing towards Abra's reversal as one of the most peaceful areas with the
highest voter turn out during that year's national elections. The CSAFP
(Chief-of-Staff, AFP) considered the event his last intimate session with AFP's
key leaders and availed of the occasion to personally thank all the AFP's
senior leaders for their dedication, professionalism, sacrifice and support
during his tenure as CSAFP," Padilla added.
