The indoor ceremony was presided by Duterte. Santos replaced Gen. Noel Clement, who served for just over three months before he reached the mandatory retirement age of 56.

The President also recently showed interest to revive the stalled peace negotiations with communist rebels. The formal resumptions of peace talks may begin this month. “These shall put us in good stead in winning the war on terrorism, enable us to upgrade our military hardware, enhance our warfighting capability, facilitate training exchanges while bolstering our counterterrorism efforts,” he said.
