Vice Admiral Collado turned over his post to the Commander of Western Command (WESCOM), Lieutenant General Erickson Gloria.

“This time-honored military tradition of the formal passing of responsibility and accountability from one leadership to another is a testament of how the AFP values the importance of undertaking the continuity of command, and the necessity to adapt to change.
