CAMP GEN. MACARIO PERALTA, Jamindan, Capiz – The Army’s 3rd Infantry Division (3ID) is continuously transforming its camp into an eco-tourism site and making it more “people-friendly”.
Maj. Gen. Dinoh Dolina, commander of 3ID, said the division is composed of the people’s soldiers and they do not consider the camp exclusive to the troops.
“People can freely visit our camp so we can showcase it to them. By doing so, we will be able to come closer to the people and people will start to love their Armed Forces,” Dolina said in an interview Monday.
Presidential Assistant for the Visayas, Secretary Michael Lloyd Dino, expressed his support to the 3ID soldiers and appreciated the efforts of the Army division.
“We saw the camp here and General Dolina is really thinking outside the box for plans for this camp to be used also for tourism purposes,” Dino said.
President Rodrigo Duterte, he said, is urging the troops to “do their jobs and at the same time make us proud to become Filipinos”.
“The national government is looking at them and taking care of them. They serve their lives for our nation, of course they will be visited through my office,” Dino said.
Dolina said the presidential aide has vowed to help make Camp Peralta a “people-friendly eco-tourism camp”.
“He was well-pleased seeing that soldiers in this part of Visayas are doing good not only in terms of accomplishing its mission but also in the maintenance of the camp,” he said.
Dolina said the 3ID is working with the provincial leaders of Capiz in promoting the camp as an eco-tourism site.
Inside Camp Peralta are waterfalls, a firing range, and swimming pool which can all be enjoyed by the public.
The public can also enjoy trekking and jogging around the camp for free, Dolina said.
He added that the public could also look forward to a nine-hole golf course inside the camp.
“There is only one golf course here in Panay which is in Iloilo. We consider having a golf course here so those from the provinces of Aklan and Capiz may opt to play here,” he said.
The Army general urged the public to experience what the camp has to offer.
The 3ID covers Panay Island, Negros Island, Siquijor, Cebu, and Bohol.
