The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) has beefed up its senior officers ranks as the Commission on Appointments (CA) confirmed the promotion of 119 generals, flag officers, and senior military officers on Wednesday.
The AFP said the CA’s confirmation reinforced the strategic leadership and operational continuity across all branches of service. Leading the list of newly-promoted officers is AFP Deputy Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Rommel Roldan.
The CA’s confirmation of the appointments underscored the institution’s commitment to professional development and sustaining a mission-ready command structure aligned with national defense priorities.
The newly promoted officers consisted of one new lieutenant general, seven major generals, three commodores, 16 brigadier generals, and 92 colonels.
The appointments enhance their mission to cultivate principled leadership and ensure the organization remains agile and capable in addressing current and emerging security challenges.
“The officers confirmed have demonstrated steadfast service and strategic foresight essential to national stability and resilience,” the AFP said.
