Itinalaga ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte si Philippine Army chief Lieutenant General Andres Centino bilang bagong commander ng Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP).
Papalitan ni Centino si General Jose Faustino Jr., na umabot na sa kanyang mandatory retirement age na 56 ngayong Biyernes, Nobyembre 12.
Ayon kay AFP spokesperson Colonel Ramon Zagala, “Centino has immense knowledge and experience in leading our troops on the ground and in supporting peaceful efforts to protect our people against various threats.”
“His integrity, management acumen and genuine desire for peace and development make him a competent leader who shall guide the AFP in fulfilling its mission while supporting national efforts to battle the current pandemic,” dagdag ni Zagala.
Si Centino ay miyembro ng Philippine Military Academy (PMA) “Maringal” Class of 1988.
Sa pahayag naman ng Malacañang, sinabi ni Presidential spokesperson Harry Roque na malaki ang tiwala nila kay Centino, aniya “He will continue the initiatives of his predecessors to bring lasting peace and development in the country while securing the state and upgrading our defense capability.”
“We wish the success of General Centino in his new role,” sabi pa ni Roque.
