Several days after he was designated commanding general of the Army’s 5th Infantry Division, Brig. Gen. Gulliver Señires, was promoted to the rank of major general.
Army chief Lt. Gen. Roy Galido personally led the donning of rank to newly promoted Maj. Gen. Señires during the flag raising ceremony on July 8 at the Philippine Army headquarters in Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City.
The donning of ranks is a military tradition signaling that military officers are ready to assume higher roles and responsibilities.
As 5ID commander, Señires supervises 6,000 Army soldiers in Cagayan Valley, Ilocos Region and Cordillera Administrative Region in northern Luzon.
Prior to his present position, Señires, a member of the Philippine Military Academy Class 1992, served as commander of the 702nd Infantry Brigade.
As a junior officer of the Philippine Army, Señires served various staff positions at the 303rd Infantry Brigade stationed in Murcia, Negros Occidental.*
