the 8th Infantry Division hosted members of the Diocese of Calbayog in Samar in a fellowship game held on Jan. 26-27.
In a statement Wednesday, Major Amado C. Gutierrez, 8th
Infantry Division spokesperson, said the event was held at their headquarters
at Calbayog City
Due to inclement weather, only basketball and table tennis
games were played during the fellowship.
The officers and men of the 8th Infantry Division were led
by Major Gen. Jet Velarmino while Rev. Fr. Ferdinand Figueroa, parish priest of
St. Bartholomew Apostle Parish of Catbalogan
City
After the games, Father Figueroa hosted a dinner at his
official home which was attended by officers of the 8th Infantry Division led
by Capt. Rey G. Loyola, the unit's chaplain.
“I hope that the activity will strengthen the more our
fraternal ties with the clergy of the Calbayog Diocese, and the 8th Infantry
Division under my command is more than willing to continue hosting the same
event on a regular basis,” Velarmino said.
“The 8th Infantry Division leadership is also looking
forward to work deeper with the clergy, not only in having fellowship games,
but also in activities that would benefit the people that the military and the
clergy are both serving," he added.
