BGen Vinoya congratulated the newly-enlisted soldiers for passing and finishing the meticulous selection process and rigid training. You have proven yourselves worthy of wearing the uniform of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, said BGen Vinoya.
Vinoya reminded the new Army privates to avoid those activities that could discredit them as soldiers and could taint the military organization.
“Always adhere to the highest standards of excellence and professionalism as you perform your duty to the people and country,” Vinoya emphasized.
The newly-installed Acting Commander is optimistic that the additional homegrown soldiers of the 3ID will surely boost the government’s peace effort to end decades-long local communist armed conflict in Central and Western Visayas.
Meanwhile, Governor Degamo, the Guest of Honor and Speaker, also reminded the newly enlisted soldiers to be faithful to their sworn duty.
“The firearms that was entrusted to you including your certificate of completion is commissioned to bring effective service to our country. Don’t use it in doing abusive acts and in harming your people,” Degamo emphasized.
Degamo also told new soldiers to always respect human rights and the rule of law in all of their future engagements; always follow the lawful orders of their commanders and leaders; be loyal to their loved ones and family, and most of all keep their faith in God intact.
Degamo was awarded a plaque of appreciation for his support on the Command’s campaign in Negros Oriental.
