CAMP GEN EMILIO AGUINALDO, Quezon City (DWDD) – The outgoing 2nd Infantry “Jungle Fighter” Division Commander, Major General Romeo Gali Gan is a principled man with great regards to the rule of law and its contributions made a great impact to the officers and enlisted personnel not only under his command but to the Armed Forces of the Philippines as a whole. His 37 years of selfless service made an indelible mark that will be remembered.

General Gan said a leader that is worthy to be position should possess the qualities of credibility, role model, dedication and commitment to perform his assigned task. Without those qualities the direction of the objectives will be misled and difficult to attain.

Major General Gan is a member of Philippine Military Academy “Matikas” Class 1983 and will retire from military service after reaching the mandatory retirement at the age of 56.
