From the Philippine News Agency (Sep 19): Naval Forces West in Palawan has new commander
The Armed Forces of the Philippines’ (AFP) Naval Forces West (NFW) in Palawan has a new commander.
Commodore Rommel Jason Galang assumed the leadership after Commodore Rommel Jude Ong relinquished his post in a change of command ceremony Monday morning at the Naval Station Apolinario Jalandoon in this city.
“I am both honored and humbled as I consider the immense responsibilities inherent in the position of Commander, Naval Forces West. I would like to personally thank the Flag Officer in Command, Admiral Mercado, and the AFP leadership for giving me the opportunity to lead and secure a course of peaceful development and progress. Though the challenges evolve, I will look into the future with clear eyes, confronting the challenges to peace and prosperity,” Galang said.
The event was presided by Philippine Navy (PN) Flag Officer-in-Command Vice Admiral Ronald Joseph Mercado who handed over the command symbol to Galang, ushering him in as the 35th commander of the NFW.
Major Gen. Galileo Gerard Kintanar Jr., Western Command (WESCOM) commander, also bestowed to him the Joint Task Force-West (JTF-W) symbol, designating him as newly installed commander.
Ong expressed his gratitude for the support of the NFW, resulting to exemplary and notable accomplishments of the unit during his stint. He is now the incumbent Naval Inspector General.
The rotation and replacement of leaders is considered customary for every military unit.
