A BATTALION commander relieved in connection with the death of four soldiers in an attack staged recently by the New People’s Army in Camarines Norte has been given another post in a higher unit. | |||
Lt. Col. Epimaco Macalisang, former commander of the Army’s 49th Infantry Battalion, was designated to a staff position at the Army’s 903rd Brigade, pending a military inquiry into the April 29 debacle. | |||
Macalisang’s new position is executive officer of the 903rd Brigade based in Castilla town in Sorsogon, according to Lt. Col. Angelo Guzman, spokesman of the 9th Infantry Division. | |||
The inquiry into the debacle is being undertaken by the 902nd Brigade which has the operational control over the 49th IB. | |||
Macalisang, who assumed command of the 49th IB in May last year, was ordered relieved by 9th ID chief Maj. Gen. Josue Gaverza for supposed lapses. | |||
Soldiers from the 49th IB were conducting house-to-house visits in Labo town Sunday last week when they were attacked by NPA rebels. The soldiers had to run to the nearby barangay hall to get their weapons when the NPA rebels started firing at them. | |||
An officer speaking on condition of anonymity said Macalisang’s designation might be a lateral movement. He noted that the former and current posts are for an officer with the rank of lieutenant colonel. | |||
“They (posts) are almost the same in rank but it’s different if you have a battalion because you have an area where you can command troops. It might be lateral but if you are going to ask me, I would rather be a battalion commander than a brigade staff,” the source said. | |||
The new commander of the 49th IB is Lt. Col. Michael Buhat, outgoing civil military operations officer of the 9th ID based in Pili, Camarines Sur. | |||
The turnover was held Saturday, presided over by Col. Richard Lagrana, 902nd Brigade commander. | |||

“It can cause dropping out because if they get used to earning money they will become lazy to attend classes,” she said, adding that a suitable arrangement is needed. “It’s good if they do it only during weekend because they can help their parents.” | “It can cause dropping out because if they get used to earning money they will become lazy to attend classes,” she said, adding that a suitable arrangement is needed. “It’s good if they do it only during weekend because they can help their parents.” | ||
