CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY -- The Office of the Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) awarded the Reserve Officer Training Corps of Xavier University as the country’s “Top ROTC Unit of the Year” on September 6, during the 35th National Reservist Week Celebration at Camp General Emilio Aguinaldo in Quezon City.
The plaque of recognition was officially turned over to XU president Fr Roberto “Bobby” C Yap SJ by the Philippine Air Force (PAF) Region 10 Commandant Lt Col Lino D Inahid on Sept 17, Wednesday.
“This award is a result of striving for excellence,” said Lt Col Inahid who is also the commanding officer of XU ROTC.
“Let’s do this again,” he added as a challenge for future ROTC engagements of XU.
National Service Training Program (NSTP) formator Faith Silmonet expressed her happiness after XU ROTC was hailed at the best reserve corps.
“We’re glad about this national award. I just knew that there was an award for XU ROTC and we were notified to witness the turn-over ceremony,” she said.
This year’s recipients for the ROTC awards were screened intensively through series of interviews and board deliberations.
The second and third places were given to the Pamantasan ng Maynila (University of the City of Manila) of the Philippine Navy and to the University of the Philippines Visayas of the Philippine Army, respectively.
