With his appointment as Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) chief-of-staff four days ago, Lt. Gen. Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr. on Tuesday challenged soldiers to continue the “Bayanihan” program as he formally started his tour of various military installations in the country.
One of the first places he visited was his old command, the Northern Luzon Command in
His visit was highlighted by the traditional "Talk to Men" where he challenged soldiers to continue the “Bayanihan” program.
"The Internal Peace and Security Program ‘Bayanihan’ is bringing us peace and we should all protect this peace from those who seek to test its merits," Catapang said.
He also ordered the soldiers to "maintain discipline and core competence in the highest standards in order to ensure the achievement of our mandate."
"We have to project ourselves as modern armed forces. We will conduct our operations without collateral damage. There should be no human rights violations," Catapang pointed out.
He also reminded the soldiers to stay focused on their mission and "not be distracted by the on-going political dynamics in the country."
Catapang is also expected to visit major service and other unified command headquarters starting on Thursday.
