Palawan high school students tour military camp

From the Philippine News Agency (Aug 22): Palawan high school students tour military camp

High school students from the Palawan Adventist Academy (PAA) in the southern town of Narra were given the unique opportunity of touring the Western Command (WESCOM) camp Thursday afternoon.

The tour of the facility was conducted as part of an ongoing educational trip of the students together with 12 of their teachers and principal, Elvira R. Tamparong.

"Our soldiers gave us a tour to their military facility, which allowed us to get a glimpse of their activities, plus letting us know that our role in nation building is important," said Tamparong. “It was very nice to have this opportunity.”

After the guided tour, the students and their teachers were given a lecture showcasing the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), while the 6th Civil Relations Group provided an audio-visual presentation and information drive.

At the end of the film showing, the students were encouraged to raise questions.

"They always asked interesting questions. The teenagers’ hunger for knowledge is inspiring," said Lt. Cherryl Tindog, chief of Wescom’s Public Affairs Office.

A former teacher, Tindog said she hoped the visit would enable the students to expand their horizons in the field.
