CAMP AGUINALDO, Quezon City—Brigadier
General Allan Arrojado, a former Commander of Joint Task Force Sulu,
was designated as Commander of the Joint Task Force-National Capital
Region effective 03 January 2018.
AFP Chief of Staff General Rey Leonardo
Guerrero cited BGen Arrojado’s “expertise and experience in
counterterrorism” having served in positions of major responsibility
against the Abu Sayyaf Group and the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom
Fighters.
Prior to his assignment as new commander
of the JTF-NCR, BGen Arrojado also served as Deputy Commander of the
Central Command based in Cebu. He also led the 601st Infantry Brigade
deployed in North Cotabato and the 501st Infantry Brigade also based in
Sulu.
BGen Arrojado, a member of Philippine
Military Academy “Maharlika” Class of 1984, replaced MGen Jesus
Manangquil Jr in a Change of Command Ceremony held at the JTF NCR
compound here.
"We are confident that BGen Arrojado will sustain the momentum set by his predecessor,” General Guerrero added.
The AFP Chief also announced the
designation of MGen Manangquil as new Commander of the 9th Infantry
Division based in the Bicol Region, replacing BGen Danilo Chad Isleta
who serves as Deputy Commander and Acting Commander after Major General
Manolito Orense bowed out of military service on 10 December 2017.
Gen. Guerrero also lauded the
accomplishments of JTFNCR under the stewardship of MGen Manangquil as
outstanding and "above expectation".
“The command of the JTF NCR is a challenge owing to the importance of its area of operations,” General Guerrero concluded. ###
