Camp Riego De Dios, Tanza, Cavite - in line with the Philippine Army’s mission in fostering good bilateral relationship and enhance Philippine Army’s capabilities in serving the people and securing the land, the Philippine Army hosted a 5- day Senior Officer’s ExchangeVisit Program (SOEVP) with the Indonesian Army held in the Army Reserve Command. The SOEVP 2019 is one of the negotiated activities under the 24th Indonesia Philippines Army Working Group meeting last 17 August 2019. The said activity is an army-to-army activity that provides opportunities to learn and exchange knowledge on matters that correspond to the organization, mission, operational system, training and activities and management of the Army Reserve Force.
The activity was participated by five seniors officers from the Indonesian Army led by MGEN ARIF RAHMAN, Commander of Pusat Territorial Angkatan Darat (PUSTERAD), TNI AD which also caters the administration of Indonesian Reserve Forces.
The delegates of the Indonesian Army arrived in Camp Riego De Dios last August 20, 2019. MGEN ARIF RAHMAN, Commander, PUSTERAD was tendered an arrival honor by the Command. MGEN BERNIE SANTOS LANGUB, Commander, Army Reserve Command guided them on a walkthrough tour on the Warfighting facilities and capability demonstration of the ARESCOM Training School. After the tour, the visitors together with the G-staff proceeded to a close door meeting. Following a hectic schedule, MGEN ARIF RAHMAN honored a “talk to men” to the enlisted personnel and trainees of the Command. On his speech, MGEN RAHMAN stated that they are looking forward for a strong partnership with the Philippine Army together with the Army Reserve Command as their counterpart in learning and sharing knowledge for operational readiness of both units since Indonesia is also being challenged in building the security of their borders. After the talk to men, a boodle fight was served to the guests being shared with officers, active enlisted personnel, reservists and trainees. The next day, the Indonesian Army accompanied by MGEN BERNIE SANTOS LANGUB paid a courtesy call to MGEN REYNALDO MEJIA AQUINO AFP, Vice Commander of the Philippine Army. After their conversation, they toured the Philippine Army Museum showcasing the Philippines greatest warfare histories which also include the Marawi Siege.
