MANILA, Philippines — The Armed Forces of the Philippines appointed yesterday Col. Alexei Musñgi as the AFP’s commander of the Joint Task Force National Capital Region (JTF-NCR).
Musñgi replaced Brig. Gen. Marceliano Teofilo, who was designated chief of the AFP Intelligence Service in July.
Musñgi assumed the post during a change of command ceremony led by AFP chief Lt. Gen. Bartolome Vicente Bacarro at Camp Aguinaldo.
Bacarro emphasized the importance of the JTF-NCR and its commander to the overall stability and development of the country.
“Taking on this immense responsibility entails expertise in security operations, intelligence and inter-agency collaboration to address multi-faceted security concerns and promptly respond to emergencies,” he said.
“Musñgi will be able to steer the JTF-NCR in addressing the complexities of Metro Manila’s security environment,” Bacarro added.
