The Philippine Marine Corps has promoted two senior officers to major general and brigadier general during ceremonies at the Marine Corps headquarters.
Maj. Gen. Gregorio Hernandez Jr., commander of the National Capital Region Command and acting commander of the Combat Support Brigade, was elevated after 37 years of service marked by leadership in intelligence, operations, and strategic planning.
Brig. Gen. Antero Troy Narcise, the AFP’s Deputy Inspector General, was also promoted. He previously served in key frontline and logistics posts and became the first commander of the Service Support Regiment. His career includes multiple Distinguished Service Stars.
The Marine Corps said the promotions highlight the officers’ discipline, courage, and commitment to national service, describing them as examples of dedication to “God, country, and people.”
The ceremony reaffirmed the Corps’ tradition of honoring leaders whose careers strengthen the Marine Corps and the broader Armed Forces of the Philippines.
