I
 
assume
 
command
 
of 
 
the
 
104
th
 
Infantry
 
(Sultan)
 
Brigade
 
humbled
 
by
 
the
 
thoughts
 
knowing
 
that
 
I
 
succeed
 
an
 
officer
 
whose
 
reputation
 
in
 
the
 
military
 
service
 
is
 
well
 
established,
 
and
 
that
 
he
 
is
 
one
 
of 
 
the
 
senior
 
officers
 
I
 
have
 
looked
 
up
 
to
 
since
 
my
 
cadet
 
years
 
in
 
the
 
Philippine
 
Military
 
Academy.
 
Moreover,
 
it
 
comes
 
at
 
a
 
time
 
that
 
this
 
brigade
 
is
 
now
 
tasked
 
to
 
pursue
 
the
 
Lawless
 
MILF
 
Group
 
in
 
Lanao
 
del
 
Norte.
 
While
 
I
 
am
 
overwhelmed
 
in
 
accepting
 
this
 
great
 
challenge,
 
I
 
am
 
more
 
honored
 
to
 
take
 
his
 
place
 
and
 
have
 
the
 
opportunity
 
to
 
pursue
 
the
 
mission
 
of 
 
the
 
104
th
 
Infantry
 
Brigade.
 
I
 
am
 
extremely
 
pleased
 
to
 
serve
 
the
 
people
 
here
 
once
 
again
 
and
 
contribute
 
in
 
the
 
pursuit
 
of 
 
peace
 
and
 
stability
 
that
 
would
 
further
 
hasten
 
development
 
in
 
the
 
Province
 
of 
 
Lanao
 
del
 
Norte.
 
On
 
this
 
occasion
 
then,
 
I
 
thank
 
my
 
superiors

opportunity
 
and
 
honor

allowed
 
this
 
opportunity

for
 
without
 
His
 
Will,
 
how
 
could
 
this
 
be
 
otherwise.
 
Given

up
 
to
 
the
 
challenges

at
 
the

time
 
take
 
care
 
of 
 
the
 
troops
 
entrusted
 
to
 
me.
 
Along
 
with
 
this,
 
I
 
bring
 
with
 
me
 
as
 
guide

instructions
 
of 
 
higher
 
headquarters.
 
I
 
now
 
therefore
 
issue

following
 
operational
 
instructions
 
to
 
all
 
my
 
staff 
 
officers
 
and

my
 
subordinate
 
commanders
 
which
 
are
 
deemed
 
significant
 
to
 
the
 
accomplishment
 
of 
 
our
 
mission:
 
First,
 
focus
 
and
 
put
 
to
 
bear

resources
 
to
