MANILA — Two newly-promoted major generals formally got their new ranks during short ceremonies at the Philippine Army (PA) headquarters in Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City Monday.

The event was spearheaded by PA vice commander, Maj. Gen. Robert M. Arevalo, Army spokesperson Lt. Col. Louie Villanueva said.
Promoted were PA chief-of-staff, Maj. Gen. Danilo Chad D. Isleta, and 702nd Infantry Brigade commander, Maj. Gen. Henry A. Robinson.

“The Philippine Army needs the best senior leaders to lead our troops in combat and our transformation initiatives towards its goal of a more progressive world-class Philippine Army that is a source of national pride,” he added.
