Brig. Gen. Jose Faustino Jr., the new 10th Infantry Division commander answers questions from the media.
MAWAB, Compostela Valley - Brigadier General Jose Faustino Jr. was installed as commander of the Philippine Army's 10th Infantry Division during a ceremony at Camp General Manuel T. Yan Sr. here on Friday, December 21.
Faustino replaced Major General Noel Clement, who headed the division since May 2017 and is now at the Central Command of the Philippine Army in Cebu.
Previously, Faustino occupied key positions in the field such as chief of staff of the Philippine Army, assistant chief of the Unified Command Staff for Intelligence, commandant of the Philippine Military Academy and commander of the 501st Infantry Brigade in Sulu.
The new commander is a well-decorated officer with recognitions including distinguished service stars, silver wing medal, silver cross medal, bronze cross medals, military commendation medals and military merit medals.
Faustino said it was going to be a challenge to sustain the momentum that the division has taken.
“10ID is in a very good position right now. We will push it even harder and ‘yong level ngayon ng threats na kino-confront ng 10ID, will be further normalized within next year.”
Faustino said he will sit down with his staff, brigades, and battalions under the division to come up with next year’s target based on the targets of the Eastern Mindanao Command and the higher headquarters.
The commander hailed the brigades and battalions, saying he has seen good reports based on the records.
