Saturday's change of command ceremony is bizarre because Centino takes the command from Lieutenant General Bartolome Vicente Bacarro, who replaced him five months ago.
MANILA, Philippines – The military welcomed General Andres Centino as chief of staff of the Armed Forces of the Philippines for the second time on Saturday, January 7 – a day after the Malacañang announced his reappointment as top soldier.
Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin led the ceremony. Centino already retook his oath before the President and commander-in-chief on Friday, January 6.
