Assalamu
Alaykom
Warahmatullahi
Wabarakato.
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
for
this
opportunity
and
honor
particularly
the
Army
Board
of
Senior
Officers,
the
Commanding
General
of
the
Philippine
Army—LT
GEN
VICTOR
S
IBRADO,
the
AFP
Board
of
Generals
chaired
by
GEN
ALEXANDER
B
YANO,
the
Secretary
of
National
Defense—HON
GILBERTO
TEODORO,
and
eventually
the
Commander
‐
in
‐
Chief
and
President
of
the
Republic
of
the
Philippines
for
entrusting
me
the
command
of
the
104
th
Infantry
Brigade.
I
express
my
gratitude
as
well
to
the
1st
Infantry
Division
Commander—MGEN
NEHEMIAS
G
PAJARITO
for
accepting
me
to
take
charge
one
of
his
Tabak
Brigades.
May
I
also
thank
the
Outgoing
Commander
of
104
th
Infantry
Brigade—BGEN
ANTONIO
I
SUPNET
for
his
warm
welcome
and
in
facilitating
my
smooth
assumption.
Sir,
I
wish
you
all
the
best
in
your
next
assignment
as
the
Assistant
Division
Commander
of
the
7
th
Infantry
Division.
Most
especially,
I
thank
the
Great
Architect
of
the
Universe
for
His
Divine
Blessings
that
ultimately
allowed
this
opportunity
in
my
career:
for
without
His
Will,
how
could
this
be
otherwise.
Given
this
rare
opportunity
to
face
up
to
the
challenges
and
cope
with
the
expectations
of
my
superiors
and
the
people
of
Lanao
del
Norte,
I
now
commit
myself
to
pursue
the
mission
of
this
brigade
and
at
the
same
time
take
care
of
the
troops
entrusted
to
me.
Along
with
this,
I
bring
with
me
as
guide
the
instructions
of
higher
headquarters.
I
now
therefore
issue
the
following
operational
instructions
to
all
my
staff
officers
and
to
my
subordinate
commanders
which
are
deemed
significant
to
the
accomplishment
of
our
mission:
First,
focus
and
put
to
bear
all
your
energies
and
resources
to
neutralize
the
soonest
the
Lawless
MILF
Group
that
have
threatened
the
peace
in
Lanao
del
Norte;
