Romeo Brawner Jr., has vowed to focus on taking care of the health, welfare, and morale of the troops and their families. "Itong mga tropa natin, these are the most important resource of the PA, yung tropa natin, tao (Our troops are the most important resource of the PA)," Brawner said in an interview on Tuesday. He also said he would continue to focus on developing the Army's core competency, which is warfighting, by further developing the Filipino soldier and the PA as an organization. Brawner noted that soldiers must be capacitated to finish the task given to the military by President Rodrigo R. Duterte, which is to eliminate the communist rebels by the end of his term. Brawner is the outgoing commander of the Cagayan de Oro City-based 4th Infantry Division (4ID). Under his leadership, the 4ID neutralized ranking communist combatants in the Northern Mindanao and Caraga regions, including Jorge Madlos alias Ka Oris, head of the New People's Army (NPA) National Operational Command. Ka Oris' neutralization resulted in a series of surrenders and seizure of firearms nationwide. The 4ID also significantly reduced the Communist Party of the Philippines - NPA presence in their areas of responsibility, in compliance with Duterte's directive. On Wednesday, the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) lauded the appointment of Brawner Jr. as Army chief. "Maj. Gen. Brawner's appointment is a testimony to the professionalism and dynamism of the military organization, which is important in carrying out our mission to protect the people and the state," AFP spokesperson, Col. Ramon Zagala, said in a statement. Brawner replaced Lt. Gen. Andres Centino, who was appointed as AFP chief on November 12. Centino also welcomed Brawner's designation as PA commander. "As a competent and dedicated commander and leader, the PA is in good hands with Maj. Gen. Brawner at the helm," he said. Brawner is a member of the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) Class of 1989. He previously held such positions as the first deputy chief of staff for financial management, J-10, an office which was activated in December 2020; commandant of cadets of the PMA; commander of the 103rd Brigade during the liberation of Marawi City; and chief of the AFP Public Affairs Office. He is also a Special Forces and Airborne officer who was named as one of the country's Most Outstanding Filipino Soldiers in 2013. (PNA) }
