For playing a key role in protecting Pope Francis and
ensuring that his five-day papal visit was free of untoward incidents, the
Armed Forces of the Philippine (AFP) said it will be commending all officers
and enlisted personnel of its Joint Task Force-National Capital Region
(JTF-NCR).
Awarding will take place after the flag-raising ceremonies
Monday morning, AFP spokesperson Col. Restituto Padilla said.
The AFP deployed 17,000 military men, including those of
JTF-NCR, to help augment the 28,000 Philippine National Police personnel
deployed to secure Pope Francis during his historic visit to the Philippines on
Jan. 15 to 19.
Aside from members of JTF-NCR, personnel from the three
major services who augmented its ranks will also be feted, Padilla said.
