| 11ID commander chosen as Cavalier Awardee Posted: 04 Dec 2021 03:11 AM PST THE Philippine Military Academy (PMA) has chosen Major General William Gonzales, 11th Infantry Division (ID) and concurrent Joint Task Force (JTF)-Sulu commander, as the Cavalier Awardee of 2021. The Cavalier Award is the highest recognition given to a PMA alumnus or alumna who excelled in their respective fields. The PMA Alumni Association, Incorporated (PMAAAI) said Gonzales was recognized for his outstanding performance as commander and administrator of one of the elite army divisions of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP). The 11ID is the youngest yet one of the most challenged infantry divisions of the Philippine Army. President Rodrigo Duterte activated the 11ID on December 17, 2017, to free the province of Sulu from the infiltration of the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG), one of the notorious terrorist groups in the country. Gonzales is the third commander of the 11ID. Prior to his current designation, Gonzales was the commander of the First Scout Ranger Regiment. He also served as the Assistant Chief of Staff for Education and Training of the Philippine Army and as the Commandant of the Officer Candidate School, Training, and Doctrine Command. Gonzales is a proud member of the PMA "Makatao" Class of 1989. He holds a Master's Degree in Management major in Public Administration.

| Westmincom facilitates PhilSys Step 2 registration Posted: 04 Dec 2021 03:08 AM PST THE Western Mindanao Command (Westmincom) in coordination with the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) facilitated the conduct of the Philippine Identification System (PhilSys) Step 2 registration Thursday, December 2, 2021, at Camp Don Basilio Navarro, home of the Westmincom headquarters in Zamboanga City. Newly promoted Lieutenant General Alfredo Rosario, Jr., Westmincom chief, said Saturday, December 4, 2021, that the registration was held to accommodate all military and civilian personnel of the command, and civilians residing within Camp Navarro. Rosario said a total of 239 registrants completed the PhilSys Step 2 registration the entire day Thursday, December 2. "My sincerest gratitude to the Philippine Statistics Authority IX for initiating the conduct of this activity here in Westmincom," Rosario said. "It is a better way to be registered without thinking of the risk to get infected with the coronavirus," he added. He said health protocols were strictly observed during the registration to ensure the safety of the registrants and registration staff. The National ID System registration is in compliance with Republic Act (RA) No. 11055, otherwise known as the Philippine Identification System Act which aims to establish a single national identification system for all citizens and resident aliens of the Republic of the Philippines. President Rodrigo Duterte signed into law R.A. 11055 in August 2018. (SunStar Zamboanga) This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
