Acierto PA, Commander of the Artillery Regiment, Philippine Army, during his official visit to the Home of the Mounted Warriors on August 26, 2026.
Upon arrival, Brigadier General Acierto was accorded company-sized military honors. He was welcomed by Colonel Francis D.

During the courtesy call and executive session, Major General Manalo and Brigadier General Acierto exchanged insights and best practices, and discussed matters of mutual interest - with the goal of strengthening cooperation, enhancing interoperability, and advancing the operational capabilities of both units.
Brigadier General Acierto then took part in a joyride and live firing of the Division's Remote-Controlled Weapon System (RCWS), gaining firsthand appreciation of the Armor Division's modern capabilities and operational readiness. He also toured the Armor Division Museum - learning about the unit's history, traditions, and accomplishments; and the Light Tanks Maintenance Facility - observing equipment maintenance and sustainment capabilities.
The visit reaffirmed the strong partnership between the Armor Division and the Artillery Regiment, as well as their shared commitment to supporting the Philippine Army's transformation into a modern, capable, and responsive force.
