The awards ceremony took place on Monday at the MBLT-3 headquarters during a visit by Philippine Marine Corps (PMC) commandant Major General Nestor Herico.

During his visit, Herico also gave a Talk to Troops, underscoring the PMC’s essential role in providing war-fighting capabilities that develop with battle-space requirements. He said they are relevant and responsive to the military and security environment.

“Let’s continue to be smarter marines. And as we go along our path as a modern Philippine Marine Corps, it is something that we have to be proud of. It is something that we have to take pride and we have to live to the standard as a Marines,” Herico said.
