The Army's 6th Infantry Division (ID) received 199 additional infantrymen to serve its area of operation (AOR), an Army official said here Saturday.

The new soldiers recently completed their candidate course and were deployed beginning Friday within the 6ID’s AOR, which includes the provinces of Maguindanao, Sultan Kudarat, South Cotabato, North Cotabato, and a portion of Lanao del Sur.

Of the 199 new soldiers of the “Matindig Class,” 188 were men and 11 were women.


“You are our new strong fighters with dignity,” 6ID commander, Maj. Gen. Juvymax Uy, said in a statement issued Saturday.

Uy reminded the new batch to protect the people against perceived enemies of the state and, at the same time, initiate peace and development projects in their areas of assignment.

“Stand tall with utmost dignity as soldiers of the Filipino people and warriors of our land,” he said.
