From the Philippine News Agency (Feb 1): DND chief graces 46th founding anniversary of 4th ID

Department of National Defense (DND) Secretary Voltaire Gazmin was the guest-of-honor at the celebration of the 46th anniversary of the 4th Infantry Division in Cagayan de Oro City on Monday.

Celebration ceremonies took place at Camp Evangelista, also in the same city.

Gazmin was welcomed by 4th Infantry Division commander Major Gen. Oscar T. Lactao.

The DND chief spearheaded the giving of awards and citations to outstanding military and civilian personnel of the unit.

Gazmin also lauded all 4th Infantry Division personnel for their dedication in the pursuit of “bayanihan” in winning the peace.

He also appreciated the massive deployment of community organizing for peace and development in the different affected areas for being instrumental on their normalization process.

“As we commemorate our 46th Founding Anniversary, we honor all our predecessors, the diamond troopers and the stakeholders for their contributions in the accomplishments of the Division for the past year," Lactao said.

“As we continue another year of genuine and dedicated service, I enjoin all the stakeholders and the people of Northern Mindanao and CARAGA Region, to join us, your Army, in building a peaceful and progressive community,” he added.
