From the Philippine Information Agency (Oct 10): New 8th ID commander brings good tidings of peace
BGen Raul Farnacio aims to pursue peace talks with insurgents and ensure that army elements under his watch do not get involved in drugs.
These were some of the priorities Farnacio willed to do as he assumes the command at the 8th Infantry Division, Philippine Army in October 6, 2016.
Farnacio took over the reign from MGen Jet Velarmino who retired from the service that day.
The new commanding general urged his troops to support Pres Duterte’s mandate of ensuring peace and supporting the police in its war on drugs.
Lt General Eduardo Ano, commanding general of the Philippine Army presided over the turn-over ceremony held at the 8th ID grounds attended by Northern Samar Governor Jun Ong and PNP Regional Director Elmer Beltejar and other local chief executives.
Farnacio was promoted to Brigadier General just this January along with other 50 other generals. He served as the chief of the Army Internal Audit unit before this assignment.
