From the Visayan Daily Star (Jan 24, 2023): Negros-assigned Army officers promoted (By GILBERT P. BAYORAN)
More Philippine Army officials who were previously assigned in Negros Island, have been promoted.
They were accorded with military honors by the Saluting Battery of the Army Artillery Regiment on January 20 at the Philippine Army headquarters in Fort Bonifacio, Metro Manila, witnessed by Army Chief Lt. Gen. Romeo Brawner Jr.
Among those previously assigned in Negros and were promoted to the next higher rank were Maj. Gen. Antonio Nafarrete, 1st Infantry Division commanding general; Brigadier Gen. Oriel Pangcog, commander of the 601st Infantry Brigade; Brig. Gen. Edmundo Peralta, 902nd Infantry Brigade commander; and Brig. Gen. Leodevic Guinid, commander of the 1st Brigade Combat Team.
Both Nafarrete and Pangcog used to command the 1st Scout Ranger Battalion in central Negros which was later transferred to Mindanao. Peralta was a company commander of the 11th Infantry Battalion, while Guinid served as commander of the 61st Infantry Battalion in southern Negros, which is now deployed in Panay.
Promoted also was Lt. Gen. Benedict Arevalo, now the commander of the AFP Visayas Command and concurrent head of the 3rd Infantry Division.
Arevalo used to serve as commanding officer of the 303rd Infantry Brigade in Murcia, Negros Occidental.
