Itinalaga ni Pangulong Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. si Lt. general Arthur Cordura bilang bagong pinuno ng Philippine Air Force.

Pinalitan ni Cordura ang nagretirong si PAF Commanding General Lt. General Stepehen Parreño.

Sa change of command ceremony sa Villamor Airbase sa Pasay City, inatasan ni Pangulong Marcos si Cordura na gabayan ang PAF na maging maliksi, credible at maging responsive sa pagtupad sa tungkulin nito.

“The road ahead is not without its challenges, but I am confident that you will rise to meet those challenges. With your steadfast leadership, you can guide the Air Force towards becoming an institution that is more agile, credible, and responsive to the demands of an ever-evolving security landscape,” pahayag ni Pangulong Marcos.

Nanawagan din si Pangulong Marcos sa mga kagawad ng PAF na suportahan ang bagong liderato.

“Continue embodying the principles of honor, duty, and excellence in achieving greater heights and ensuring the safety and welfare of Filipinos,” pahayag ni Pangulong Marcos.

“To the men and women of the Philippine Air Force, your service is a source of immense pride for our country. Under this new leadership, you may continue to reach even greater heights, embodying the principles of honor, duty, and excellence,” dagdag ng pangulo.

“These times call for vigilance and for resolve. There is no room for complacency.”

Bibigyang prayoridad ni Pangulong Marcos na gawing moderno ang buong Armed Forces of the Philippines.

“We must ensure that the continued modernization of our armed forces remains a priority, empowering us to protect the ideals that define our nation,” dagdag ng Pangulo.
