MAWAB, Compostela Valley (PIA) -- The Philippine Army has increased its strength with at least 407 additional soldiers recruited by the 10th Infantry Division (10ID).
Belonging to Classes 420 and 422, the new soldiers finished the 9-week Candidate Soldier Course beginning last March 9 at the 10th Division Training School.
Capt. Jerry Lamosao, the 10ID spokesperson, said the course included basic training on weaponry, civil-military operations, jungle warfare, survival techniques, water search and rescue operations, basic intelligence operations, and lectures on human rights, international humanitarian laws, and rule of law.
Lamosao said the soldiers graduated with a rank of private with a basic salary of around P29,000.
During the graduation, Major Gen. Noel S. Clement, 10ID commander, announced that although the graduates signed a contract that they were willing to be detailed anywhere in the Philippines, they will be assigned only in the different units of the division.
The division stretched its peacekeeping responsibilities in Davao Region, Sarangani, South Cotabato, the second district of North Cotabato, Columbio in Sultan Kudarat, Trento in Agusan del Sur and Lingig in Surigao del Sur.
The program’s guest of honor was Kiblawan Mayor Jason Carl Rama as representative of Davao Occidental Governor Claude Bautista.
