New 14th IB CO visits Army camps in Eastern Samar

From the Philippine Information Agency (Feb 9): New 14th IB CO visits Army camps in Eastern Samar

Lieutenant Colonel Ronnie Evarita, the new commanding officer of the Philippine Army’s 14th Infantry Battalion, visited all the army camps deployed in the different parts of Eastern Samar last week.

According to 2nd Lt. Marjorie Siwa, the civil military officer of the 14th IB, Evarita immediately visited and had a talk with the soldiers of the Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie company right after assuming his position as the new commanding officer of the 14th IB.

 In this occasion, the new commander in chief assured that he will give focus on the welfare of his men — especially on the assurance that they will have an ample supply of medicines, the direction of their careers, the opportunity of the soldiers to study in the Philippines and abroad, and the recognition and promotion of deserving soldiers
.
Evarite also assured that their mission to secure the province against insurgency will be fulfilled and mentioned that last year, there has been no huge NPA–initiated violence-relate incidents. He further assured that the 14th IB will do everything to maintain this through their operations and other measures that they will implement. And as they face a big challenge — this May elections, Evarite had emphasized that he is hoping that the 14th IB is ready to fulfill their obligation to ensure an orderly and peaceful 2016 polls.
                   
The 14th IB is part of the 8th Infantry Division and encompasses the whole province of Eastern Samar.
