From the Philippine Information Agency (Dec 9, 2020): 120 reserve officers to undergo Probationary Officer Training Course (By Jemin B. Guillermo) 

ILOILO CITY, Dec. 9 (PIA) -- A total of 120 reserve officers underwent a four-month Probationary Officer Training Course (POTC), which started December 7, at Camp Gen. Macario Peralta, in Jamindan, Capiz.


Colonel Wilson Ma S. Reyes, Assistant Division Commander for Reservist and Retiree Affairs, was the Guest of Honor and Speaker during the opening ceremony, a press release from the Army's 3rd Infantry Division Public Affairs Office said.

The opening ceremony was followed by the traditional reception rites at around 9 a.m. at the command parade ground.

The training aims to train and prepare advance Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) graduates to qualify them for commission in the Reserve Force to enhance professionalism, standardize the conduct of training, and to accelerate the production of quality Reserve Officers.

"The training is not all physical. You are expected to learn about the Armed Forces of the Philippines. You will realize the importance of leadership, teamwork, camaraderie, and competence," Reyes said.

He also urged the trainees to take their oath sacredly and take the hard training positively.

"I will be happy to see the smiles of fulfillment in your faces on your graduation day,” Reyes stressed. (PIA6/3ID-DPAO/Philippine Army)
