The Commission on Elections – Region 10 (Comelec-10) will refer to their national office the petition to relieve Brigadier General Michele Anayron Jr. as commander of the Army 4th Infantry Division (4ID), a poll official said.
Maria Dulce Banzon, Comelec-10 assistant director, said that 29 candidates of the National Unity Party filed the complaint on concerns that Anayron would use his office to help his father, Michele Anayron Sr., who is running for mayor of Sugbongcogon town in Misamis Oriental.
Lieutenant Colonel Francisco Garello Jr., 4ID spokesperson, said Anayron passed the rigorous evaluation of the Armed Forces of the Philippines’ Board of Generals, who, according to him, was impressed by Anayron’s “30 years of exemplary performance against the New People’s Army in Northern Mindanao.”
