He also thanked the candidates’ families and relatives for supporting the aspirants in their decision to join the noble profession of arms.

“Tanggapin ninyo ang aking taos-pusong pasasalamat sa inyong pagtugon sa hamon at tawag ng tungkulin sa larangan ng pagsusundalo, na kung saan ay maraming nag-aalinlangang tumanggap, dahil na rin sa mga panganib na kaagapay ng marangal na propesyon na ito (Please accept my heartfelt gratitude for accepting the challenge and for answering the call of soldiery wherein many people are intimidated because of the risks that come with this noble profession),” he said.

“Sa mga pamilya at mga kaanak ng ating mga Candidate Soldiers, maraming salamat po sa suportang ipinakita ninyo lalong-lalo na sa naging pasya ng inyong mga mahal sa buhay na tahakin ang landas ng pagiging isang sundalo (To the families and relatives of our Candidate Soldiers, thank you so much for your support, especially on the decision of your loved ones to join the profession of arms),” Vinoya added.

The aspiring soldiers, who successfully passed the strict and meticulous selection processing standard set by the Philippine Army, will undergo rigid training under the Candidate Soldier Course and Jungle Warfare and Mountain Operations Course. The courses, which will be handled by the training staff of the 3rd Division Training School, are expected to be finished within six months. (JBG/DPAO-3ID, Phil. Army)
