Anayron is 6ID’s new commander

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY (MindaNews / 28 Jan)—Brig. Gen. Michele Anayron has officially been designated as commander of the Cagayan de Oro City-based 4th Infantry Division of the Philippine Army, replacing Brig. Gen. Consolito Yecla, who had been the acting division commander since last week.

Anayron, who earlier led the 403rd Infantry Brigade in Malaybalay City in Bukidnon, replaced Maj. Gen. Jose Maria Cuerpo II, who retired last Jan. 17.

Lt. Gen. General Roy Galido, chief of the Philippine Army, attributed the delay of naming Anayron as replacement to Cuerpo last week as “glitch in the bureaucracy.”

Galido said it also happened in the 6th Infantry Division, in Datu Odin Sinsuat in Maguindanao del Norte, where its new chief, Brig. Gen. Donald Gumiran, was only installed last Jan. 25.

Anayron, who will be 56 years old on May 2025, hails from Sugbongcogon town in Misamis Oriental and took his early college years in Xavier University.

He handled the Army’s public information campaign during the massacre of 13 farm workers and wounding of 16 others in Balabagan town in Lanao del Sur in August 2000 and during the “Sendong” tragedy in Cagayan de Oro in 2011.

Anayron is a member of the Philippine Military Academy “Tanglaw-Diwa” class of 1992. (Froilan Gallardo / MindaNews)
