In line with the ongoing efforts to strengthen its linkages, Philippine Army (PA) commander, Lt. Gen. Macairog S. Alberto visited the Spanish Army in Madrid from June 4 to 11, in a bid to beef up bilateral ties between the two military forces.
Also discussed were efforts that would mutually benefit both sides in training and education that will enhance joint operation capabilities, PA spokesperson Lt. Col. Ramon Zagala said in a statement Tuesday.
Alberto also visited Fuerzas Aeromóviles del Ejército de Tierra, the Helicopter Command of the Spanish Army.
During the visit, the interest of the PA to further develop its Army Aviation Battalion was discussed, along with how Spanish counterparts could extend its support.
“I come to you from our home country as part of the Philippine Army – an organization that is currently on a consistent and committed push for reform through the Army Transformation Roadmap. I am happy to share with you that through the Army Transformation Roadmap, the Philippine Army is making great strides in terms of professionalism of its soldiers, modernization of equipment, capability to conduct a wide variety of operations, and in terms of good governance and contribution to nation-building,” Alberto said.
During the dinner, Spanish Army chief-of-staff, Gen. Francisco Javier Varela Salas was also invited as Guest of Honor and Speaker for the celebration of Philippine Independence Day on June 12 at the Philippine Embassy in Madrid.
Salas also presented the Spanish Army Land Force 2035 structure and organization, which has the same concept with the PA's Transformation Roadmap by 2028.
