A ranking Department of Agriculture (DA) official took on Thursday his oath as the new member of the Philippine Army's (PA) Multi-Sector Advisory Board (MSAB).
Zamzamin Ampatuan, DA Undersecretary for Regulations and 'Build Build Build Agri', had his oath administered by PA commander Lt. Gen. Cirilito Sobejana in a short ceremony at the PA headquarters in Fort Bonifacio.
Ampatuan, an advocate of the peace and development of Muslim communities, said he intends to serve in PA MSAB's Research and Education Committee.
He hopes that his experiences as a follower of Islam contribute to the endeavors of the board’s support toward the Army’s mission especially in advocating peace.
Ampatuan, in his speech, recalled that as a 10-year-old boy, he saw how the PA pursued peace in their region by partnering with the civil society and different agencies.
Regarding soldiers as among his role models, Ampatuan volunteered and headed various organizations including the Muslim Student Council of Notre Dame University, and served as the Undersecretary and Executive Director of the Office of Muslim Affairs.
“I would like to express to you my commitment; I will always be a willing partner of the Philippine Army,” he said.
Meanwhile, Sobejana said the PA's transformation is a goal shared with governance and policy experts, the people needed in attaining the Army's breakthrough goals.
"They are the people we rely on for criticisms and opinions in wide-ranging matters affecting the Army,” he added.
Sobejana said as people of one nation, bridging the gap is the key to realizing the PA's vision.
"In the pursuit of lasting peace and sustainable development, know that we are neither above nor below you, but we are always beside you in this journey,” he added.
