BACOLOD CITY – Brig. Gen. Ted Dumosmog was named as the new chief of the 303rd Infantry Brigade that has jurisdiction over the Negros Island Region on Tuesday, Nov. 5.

Dumosmog assumed the position and was promoted to brigadier general from colonel and donned his new rank during a turnover ceremony at the 303rd IBde headquarters in Barangay Minoyan, Murcia, Negros Occidental.

He succeeded Brig. Gen. Orlando Edralin, who served the 303rd IBde for almost two years since Jan. 31, 2023, and is due for retirement from the military on Nov. 8.

Major Gen. Marion Sison, commander of the Army 3rd Infantry Division (ID), ordered Dumosmog to finish off the remaining members of the New People’s Army in Negros Island.

“The first order of the day for you is to find, fix, and finish the remnants of the Komiteng Rehiyon-Negros Cebu Bohol Siquijor (KR-NCBS). Nothing more, nothing less,” Sison told Dumosmog.

Sison challenged Dumosmog to continue the fight and stressed that they are confronting a thinking enemy.

“We cannot rest on our laurels because there are still remnants to be taken care of. Our fight is not yet over. Let us not give the NPA the chance to resurge,” Sison said as he urged all personnel of the 303rd IBde to extend support to Dumosmog just like Edralin.

Sison noted that the Army is 95 percent victorious against the NPA. “We are almost there. Only five percent left. Let us finish them. Let us not give them a chance to breathe,” he said.

Dumosmog said a daunting task lays ahead but is ready to take on the challenge.

“I was filled with excitement and enthusiasm for being entrusted with this goal,” he said as he expressed optimism that with the help of the dedicated and motivated personnel of the 303rd IBde, they will accomplish their mission.

Dumosmog said that NIR has Stable Internal Peace and Security and the 303rd IBde contributed a fair share to this triumph.

He said that maintaining peace is much harder and more tedious than waging a war itself and called on all personnel and stakeholders to work together to maintain a secured, peaceful, and developed Negros Island.

“Let us march in unison as we continue to serve the people of Negros. Let us remember that our strength lies not only in our determination, but in our unity,” he said.

Sison commended Edralin for his leadership, noting the brigade’s successful completion of 10 major engagements that solidified its reputation as the "Fightingest Brigade" of the Philippine Army last year.

Dumosmog is a graduate of the Philippine Military Academy Sambisig Class of 1991.

He served as a platoon leader of the 47th Infantry Battalion under the 3rd ID from Oct. 7, 1991 to Jan. 31, 1992. Dumosmog was the assistant division commander for Reservist and Retiree Affairs of the 4th ID.
