From GMA News Online (Oct 22, 2019): Army chief Alberto leads donning of ranks to troops wounded in action
Philippine Army commander Lieutenant General Macairog Alberto on Monday led the donning of ranks to 44 soldiers who were wounded in action, some of them involved in clashes during the Marawi siege in 2017.
The ceremony happened at the Armed Forces of the Philippines General Hospital in Quezon City, according to the Philippine Army on Tuesday.
“Our soldiers risked their lives faithfully carrying out the missions entrusted to them so that the rest of us can go about our daily lives in peace,” Army spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Ramon Zagala said.
“Their promotion to the next higher rank is our way of recognizing their gallantry and an expression of our nation’s gratitude towards their sacrifices,” Zagala added.
The soldiers also received special financial aid from the Presidential Management Staff, as well as additional cash incentives.
