Military welcomes 93 new soldiers

From the Philippine News Agency (Dec 2): Military welcomes 93 new soldiers

The military has welcomed 93 trainees who graduated the candidate soldiers course here on Monday afternoon.

Capt. Christian Uy, spokesperson of the army’s Public Affairs Division, said that the new soldiers belonged to Class 322 of the Candidate Soldier Course.

He said that the candidates came from various provinces in Northern Mindanao and Northeastern Mindanao region who underwent a six month rigid military training as a basis for their graduation.

During the six-month training period, the candidates were taught on the Basic Military Knowledge and Skills, Jungle Warfare, Mountaineering Operations, the Army Core Values, Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law, Uy said.

During the commencement exercise Monday afternoon, Brig. Gen. Ricardo R. Visaya, commander of the army’s 4th Infantry Division, congratulated the graduates, the proud families, and the training committee.

In his speech, Visaya said the graduation was only the beginning of their military career and that “all your actions now would be covered with orders.”

Visaya then exhorted the new soldiers to uphold the highest form of discipline expected of a soldier while cultivating the love for the service and expect all the best things to follow.

“In your love for the service, will stem not only a well disciplined soldier, but a soldier who is morally upright, and a soldier that will make his country proud,” Visaya added.
