The president will be welcomed by officers of the 1ID during his arrival at the headquarters.

Duterte’s  military camp-hopping is a way to the soldiers heart and a boost to their morale.

He is expected to have a command conference with the camp’s highest officials and deliver a speech in front of the troops as soon as he arrives.
