The 110,000-strong members of the Philippine Army

of Command Ceremony presided by the President of the Philippines and

Taguig City on August 7, 2023.
Lt. Gen. Roy M. Galido assumed leadership of the Philippine Army, succeeding the new AFP Chief of Staff and outgoing CGPA, Gen. Romeo S. Brawner Jr.

Army Chief, served as the Commander of the Western Mindanao Command,
AFP. He also held various key positions, such as the Commander of the
6th Infantry Division in 2022, Army Inspector General in 2021; Brigade
Commander of the 601st Infantry Brigade, 6ID in 2020; and Commanders of
the 38th Infantry Battalion and 41st Infantry Battalion all under 6ID in

The new CGPA is a member of the Philippine Military

During his assumption speech, Lt. Gen. Galido mentioned
that he would focus on establishing discipline as the bedrock of trust
in the Army, recalibrating internal security operations, strengthening
the organization for territorial defense, re-evaluating systems to
empower soldiers to have the necessary skills that can contribute in
nation-building even after the military life, proper utilization of
financial assets, logistics, manpower, and time. "Soldiery is voluntary,
it's a choice, it's a vocation, sacrificing personal interest is
mandatory, but your welfare will always be addressed," the CGPA said.
