Earlier this year, he also headed the 6th Infantry (Kampilan) Division, overseeing military operations in Central and South-Central Mindanao.
Prior to leading the 6th Infantry Division, Gumiran commanded the 602nd Infantry Brigade in North Cotabato. He also held key leadership positions in the 7th Infantry Battalion, the 38th Infantry Battalion, and the 6th Infantry Division Training School.
