From the Philippine News Agency (May 10): Presidential Legislative Liaison Office Secretary Mamba fetes Army division men

CAMP MELCHOR DELA CRUZ, Isabela -- Secretary Manuel Mamba, the head of the Presidential Legislative Liaison Office, has awarded 13 personnel of the Army’s 5th Infantry Division for their exemplary performances in the conduct of AFP Internal Peace and Security Plan (IPSP) through “Bayanihan” here.

Mamba, the guest speaker, was assisted by Maj. Gen. Benito Antonio De Leon, commander of the Army’s 5th Infantry Division in giving Military Merit Medals to 11 deserving personnel of the Command for their rendered meritorious services.

In his message to the Star troopers, Secretary Mamba urged the leadership of 5ID Commander to lead the soldiers through the straight and narrow path of justice, honor and service and guide them through the challenges that come hand in hand with the sacrifices each and every soldier has embraced in the service of God and country.

He said that the life of our Filipino soldiers is full of sacrifice because of limited resources as compared to soldiers of rich nations. However, “the plight of our soldiers has not gone unnoticed under the leadership of our Commander-In-Chief, His Excellency Benigno Simeon Aquino III”, he added.

He further praised the new campaign strategy of the AFP which is the Internal Peace and Security Plan “Bayanihan”.

“This Bayanihan activity was immensely demonstrated by our Filipino soldiers together with American soldiers to the victims of Typhoon Yolanda which served as shining example to the whole world that if we stand united, there are no obstacles that cannot be hurdled, there are no tragedies that cannot be overcome,” he emphasized.

“As partner for peace and development, the combat soldier transformed themselves into developer who shared a genuine concern not only the security of our people but also for their general well-being,” he said.
