Army warns versus extra marital affairs

From the Visayan Daily Star (Oct 10): Army warns versus extra marital affairs

Having extra-marital affairs is also a ground for dismissal from the military service under the Army Transformation Roadmap, Lt. Col. Rommel Cordova, who had helped in the formulation of the program, said yesterday.

Cordova said the Philippine Army is very strict in the observance of the sanctity of marriage. For those proven guilty, such violation is a ground for dismissal, he said.

It is common perception that Army soldiers, including those in the other branches of the service of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, and even in the Philippine National Police, have other families, in their other areas of assignment.

Cordova said the Personal Scorecard of individual Army soldiers is being reviewed either monthly of every quarter of the year to determine their compliance. Non-compliance will have an effect on their promotion, among others, he added.

The Personal Scorecard also states that an individual Army soldier should maintain and strengthen good family values, be free from debt and have financial freedom, project the image of a good soldier and serve as an inspiration to others.

ATR has been implemented since 2010.

The Army's 3rd Infantry Division sponsored a two-day ATR orientation seminar for journalists in Panay and Negros, that aims to solicit their help in communicating with the people.
