Colonel Ramon Zagala, the current spokesperson of the Armed Forces of the Philippines , will soon head the Presidential Security Group that will be tasked to ensure the safety and security of President-elect Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and his family.Colonel Jorry Baclor, chief of AFP public affairs office , said they have yet to receive the official appointment papers of Zagala although he confirmed that the eloquent military spokesperson was already told to report to Malacanang.
In a separate interview with Zagala, he refused to comment on the matter pending an official report from Malacanang.“It was his colleagues at the PAO who confirmed it. I congratulated him [for the appointment] and he said ‘thank you,’” the source said. The PSG is the primary agency concerned with providing close-in security and escort to the Philippine president and vice president, their immediate families, former presidents and vice presidents, as well as visiting heads of state.
