The Army will leave it to higher authorities to decide on the call of farmers to distribute more than 4,000 hectares of land within Fort Magsaysay in Nueva Ecija. 1Lt. Tala Servidad, spokesperson of the Army’s 7th division, said they would respect the decision of the civilian leaders on the matter.
“We will just await the resolution of the DND (Department of National Defense) on the matter since the 7th ID (Infantry Division) is the caretaker of Fort Magsaysay,” Servidad said in a phone interview. Servidad was asked to react to a statement by farmers from Dingalan, Aurora who had urged President Benigno S. Aquino III to amend Presidential Proclamation 237 to allow the distribution of more than 4,000 hectares of land within Fort Magsaysay. Fort Magsaysay is home to the Army’s 7th Infantry Division, Special Operations Command and the Army Artillery Regiment. It is also the largest military camp in the country.
