Before assuming his current post, he served as Commander of the 101st Infantry (Three Red Arrows) Brigade and held key leadership positions, including Senior Military Assistant to the Officer-in-Charge of the Department of National Defense (DND) and Assistant Chief of Staff for Operations, G3, Philippine Army.
A proud member of the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) “Bantay-Laya” Class of 1994, Brigadier General Luzon graduated Magna Cum Laude and has spent most of his distinguished military career in Mindanao. He has been at the forefront of counter-insurgency and counter-terrorism operations, notably playing a key role in Basilan that led to the neutralization of Mudzrimar “Mundi” Sawadjaan — one of the most notorious terrorist figures in Southern Mindanao — culminating in the formal declaration of an Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG)-Free status on June 9, 2025.
Brigadier General Luzon previously commanded the 1st Military Intelligence Battalion and the 53rd Infantry (Matapat) Battalion. He also played a vital role during the 2017 Marawi Campaign, serving as both Assistant Chief of Unified Command Staff for Intelligence (U2) and Assistant Chief of Unified Command Staff for Operations (U3) at the Western Mindanao Command, which directly oversaw the operational direction of the campaign.
In his message, Brigadier General Luzon reaffirmed his firm commitment to sustain the gains achieved in maintaining an insurgency-free and NPA-free region.
"Like an eagle flight, our Division must move with unity, purpose and strength -each wing, each feather, each movement working in harmony toward a common goal,” said Brig. Gen. Luzon.
Immediately after the ceremony, Brigadier General Luzon convened his first Command Conference with the officers of the 10th Infantry (Agila) Division, where he delivered his first command guidance as the new King Agila.
In his address, he emphasized his leadership mantra — A.G.I.L.A. — which stands for Accountability, Growth, Integrity, Loyalty, and Achievement through Excellence. This guiding principle embodies his vision of a disciplined, competent, and mission-focused Agila Division, where every Agila Troopers takes responsibility for their actions, strives for continuous growth, upholds integrity, remains steadfast in loyalty, and pursues excellence in all endeavors to achieve collective success.
Furthermore, Brigadier General Luzon has a long-established connection with Davao Region and nearby provinces. He previously served as Brigade Executive Officer of the 105th Infantry Brigade which was later realigned under the 10th Infantry Division to form the present-day 1003rd Infantry (Raptor) Brigade.
