Gen. Andres Centino became the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) Chief of Staff for the second time on Jan. 7. Since the AFP's founding in 1935, no other officer has received this honor.
In a very rare occasion, Gen. Andres Centino officially assumed post on Saturday, Jan. 7, as the Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of the Philippines for the second time in his military career. Based on records from the AFP, no other officer has been bestowed the same privilege since the organization’s establishment in 1935.Centino took the helm as the 59th AFP Chief of Staff in a Change of Command Ceremony held at the AFP General Headquarters in Camp Aguinaldo, Quezon City, replacing Lt. Gen.
But nearly five months later, Centino is back in a familiar territory after Marcos decided to change guards again. Centino, 55, is set for retirement on February 4 but RA 11709 qualified him for a fresh three-year term. Both Centino and Bacarro are “mistah” or classmates at the Philippine Military Academy “Maringal” Class of 1988.It was not clear why Marcos replaced Bacarro. But the military officer thanked Marcos “for the trust and confidence that he has accorded me to lead the AFP.”“To my fellow soldiers, marines, airmen, and sailors; to everyone who continue to trust and support me, thank you very much.
But this very same law caused anxiety among generals in the AFP who worry about their future within the organization since a longer tour-of-duty means fewer officials to hold a certain senior military post.“It aims to provide for the selection of the most competent, the most capable, and the most deserving leaders.
