General Centino lauds Diamond Division, pledges all-out support vs insurgency
CAMP AGUINALDO, Quezon City-- The Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of the Philippines General Andres C Centino PA lauded the 4th Infantry (Diamond) Division for its accomplishments against the communist terrorist group.
In his visit on Wednesday, 02 February 2022, General Centino pressed the troops to finish the insurgency in Northern Mindanao before June 2022.
"Give your best. We will make sure you have resources. We want to end this insurgency, to capture its top leaders here. More importantly, we want to honor the heroism of our comrades who made the ultimate sacrifices in this decades-old fighting," General Centino said.
"I am confident that we can comply with the deadline of President Rodrigo Duterte. I take confidence in my experience here at 4ID and its recent accomplishments that saw the demise of the CTG's top leaders in Northern Mindanao," added General Centino, who previously served as Commander of 26th Infantry Battalion and 401st Infantry Brigade, both under 4ID, and later as Commander of the Diamond Division.
After his talk, he joined Department of National Defense Secretary Delfin N Lorenzana, Department of Public Works and Highways Undersecretary for Regional Operations in Mindanao Eugenio R Pipo Jr., and LtGen Romeo S Brawner Jr, Commanding General of the Philippine Army, in the inauguration and blessing of the new 4ID administration building and the site groundbreaking for the new Camp Evangelista Station Hospital.
Both infrastructures are part of the Tatag ng Imprastraktura para sa Kapayapaan at Seguridad (TIKAS) convergence program of the DPWH and DND.
Later, General Centino visited a remote forward base of the 8th Infantry Battalion in Barangay St. Peter, Malaybalay City, Bukidnon.
"As your Chief of Staff, I assure you that the AFP will continue to give its full support for the completion of the projects that are of great benefit to our troops and the surrounding communities in your area of operation," General Centino said.///
