CAMP GEN EMILIO AGUINALDO, Quezon City (DWDD) – San Miguel Vice Chair, President and Chief Operating Officer Ramon S. Ang and the outgoing Armed Forces of the Philippines chief of staff, Gen. Eduardo Año, on Thursday signed a memorandum of agreement that would provide P2 million to each family left behind by 165 soldiers and policemen killed in action.
In his speech, Ang said the grant was a gesture of gratitude for the “ultimate sacrifice” of the fallen heroes of Marawi.
“Because of your skill, dedication, patriotism, bravery, Marawi is free and our country is much safer,” Ang said, addressing the AFP.
“While we celebrate this historic victory we are also in mourning. Many of our soldiers had to make the ultimate sacrifice and die fighting for our country. They gave up their lives so that we could live free,” he added.
“It is because of them and their stories that we want to become better people.”
“We cannot replace them nor can we repay them for their sacrifice but we can honor them and help fulfill their dream of better lives for their families,” CRSAFP/MCAG
