3rd ID to open its door for IP candidate soldiers

From the Philippine News Agency (Aug 24): 3rd ID to open its door for IP candidate soldiers

The Capiz-based 3rd Infantry Division on Wednesday announced it is opening its doors to Indigenous People (IP) interested in pursuing a military career.

Capt. Gizelle Lim, 3rd Infantry Division public affairs office chief, said training will be conducted by the 3rd Division Training Unit.

Decision to accept IP candidates were the offshoot of Resolution No. 2016-006 from the Office of the Panay Indigenous People’s Organization (PIPOL) requesting for quota of the IPs particularly Panay Bukidnon and Ati in the Philippine Army.

3rd Infantry Division commander Brig. Gen. Harold N. Cabreros responded by allocating a 10 percent quota for the IPs for the next succeeding training cycles of Candidate Soldier Course to address PIPOL's concern.

An examination, called the Armed Forces of the Philippines Service Aptitude Test (AFPSAT) will be held for interested individuals on Aug. 27, 8 a.m. at the 605th Community Defense Center, 6RCDG, Panaad Complex, Bacolod City.
