Gen. Daniel Lucero, the commander of the Philippine Army’s 1st Tabak Infantry Division, died on Sunday after a diving accident. The Armed Forces of the Philippines said the member of the Philippine Military Academy class of 1983 "was diving at Tabak beach, Tukuran, Zamboanga del Sur during the reception of newly assigned 2LTs when he collapsed.” He was declared dead at the Mendero Hospital in Pagadian City. Journalists also took to social media to lament the death of Lucero, whom they considered one of the good guys in the military. Lucero was AFP spokesman during the time of AFP chief Gen. Narciso Abaya. He was named part of the Ten Outstanding Philippine Soldiers (TOPS) in 2011. http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/nation/06/02/13/bgen-daniel-lucero-dies-diving-accident TAPS

As quoted from an Interaksyon article posted at the AFP Chief of Staff thread: Quote: (...SNIPPED) MANILA - Presumptive president Rodrigo Duterte is eyeing a chief superintendent (brigadier general or one-star general in the military) to replace Philippine National Police (PNP) Director General Ricardo Marquez and a senior officer from the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) Matikas Class 1983 will assume as new chief of staff of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), a reliable source from the inner circle of Duterte told InterAksyon.com Monday. The source gave the information on condition he be not named for lack of authority. “Yes, it’s Chief Supt. Dela Rosa sa PNP and Lieutenant General Visaya para naman sa AFP,” the source said. The source was referring to former Davao City police chief, Chief Supt. Ronald dela Rosa (PMA Sinagtala Class ’86), for the top police post and Southern Luzon Command (Solcom) Lt. Gen. Ricardo Visaya for the top military post. (...SNIPPED) Edited by MSantor, May 18 2016, 01:03 PM.
