PAGADIAN CITY, Zamboanga del Sur, Aug. 10 (PNA) – President Rodrigo Duterte will visit Wednesday afternoon (Aug. 10) the troops of the First Infantry “Tabak” Division, the premier command of the Philippine Army, in Camp Major Cesar Sang-an in the nearby Labangan town.

Col. Benedicto Manquiquis, First Infantry Division public affairs officer, told the Philippines News Agency that the President is scheduled to arrive at 1 p.m.

Duterte will plane in through this city from Manila and will take the Presidential helicopter to Camp Cesar Sang-an in Barangay Upper Pulacan, Labangan town.

Maj. Gen. Gerardo Barrientos, First Infantry Division commander, will lead the group of officials who will welcome the President and his party upon arrival at the local airport.

The members of the media are only allowed to cover the President during his “talk-to-men” and visit to the hospital inside Camp Cesar Sang-an.

Manquiquis said President Duterte will hold a command conference to get firsthand information of the ongoing programs and operations of the “Tabak” Division.

Expected to arrive with the President are Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana, Armed Forces Chief-of-Staff Gen. Ricardo Visaya and other top government officials. (PNA)
