|August 1, 2025
President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. yesterday expressed confidence that new Philippine Army chief Lt. Gen. Antonio Nafarrete will maintain the Army’s integrity and professionalism.
Marcos led the change of command ceremony of the Philippine Army in Fort Andres Bonifacio in Taguig City.
He named Nafarrete as the new commander of the Army, replacing Lt. Gen. Roy Galido who retired on the same day.
In his speech, the President said he is optimistic with Nafarrete’s leadership, recognizing that he rose to the helm of the Philippine Army amid geopolitical tensions and global uncertainty.
“You will be assuming your role at a time when geopolitical tensions and global uncertainty are high. This will demand your vigilance and leadership to deliver clear direction and to show a firm commitment,” Marcos told Nafarrete.
