From the Visayan Daily Star (Jul 5, 2023): 3 Army officers with Negros links promoted (By GILBERT P. BAYORAN)

Three of the 25 newly promoted senior officers of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, either presently and formerly assigned in Negros Island, were promoted to the rank of brigadier general.

They are Brig. Gen. Joey Escanillas, 302nd Infantry Brigade commander; Brig. Gen. Efren Morados, 803rd Infantry Brigade commander; and Brig. Gen. Gulliver Señires, who is now assigned at the Army’s 7th Infantry Division in Nueva Ecija.

Morados used to serve as commanding officer of the 62nd Infantry Battalion in Sagay City, while Señires had been the Civil Military Operations officer of the 303rd Infantry Brigade in Murcia, Negros Occidental.

The Army’s 803rd Infantry Brigade is presently deployed in northern Samar.

Prior to his designation as 302nd Infantry Brigade commander in Tanjay City, Negros Oriental, Escanillas served as commander of the Task Force Cebu.

Morados, Señires, Escanillas, and 22 other newly promoted AFP senior officers are awaiting their confirmation when Congress resumes session on July 24, following delivery of State of the Nation Address of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.

The CA is empowered by the 1987 Constitution to scrutinize the competence, fitness and integrity of key presidential appointees, including military officers from the rank of colonel or naval captain, and to approve or disapprove them.*
