Realizing the vital role of the non-commissioned officers (NCOs) as the backbone of the military, the Philippine Army (PA) has launched a program for their basic training on counseling, coaching and mentoring.
These skills are essential in the molding of new soldiers under their wing, Army deputy public affairs office chief Capt. Anthony Bacus said. He added that the program is being handled by the PA's Technical Working Group of the NCO Counseling, Coaching and Mentoring System (TWG-NCOCCMS). As of this posting, NCOs of two units, the 6th and the 4th Infantry Divisions, are now undergoing the said training. One of the primary thrusts of PA chief Lt. Gen. Noel A. Coballes is to strengthen the NCO Corps by fully empowering and encouraging them to take participative roles. He further emphasized the need for professional development of NCOs by allowing them to learn, seek, absorb, and accept responsibility in order to achieve and ensure mission accomplishment. Guided by this tenet, Col. Rene Glen O. Paje, Assistant Chief of Staff for Personnel, OG1, Philippine Army, crafted a proposed policy on the NCO Counseling, Coaching and Mentoring System.
Under this policy, NCOs holding leadership positions in a certain unit or office shall be appointed as counselors, coaches and mentors of their respective subordinates.
