The Philippine Army (PA) has lauded soldier-athletes who
brought honor and pride to the organization by winning championship awards in
various local and international competitions.
In the recognition rites during the flag raising ceremony
here on Monday, PA commander Lt. Gen. Eduardo M. Año, personally recognized and
congratulated the 23 members of the Philippine Army Dragon Boat Team–Mighty
Sports, also known as Army Dragon Warriors, who dominated the small boat
category in the 10th International Dragon Boat Federation (IDBF) Club Crews
World Championship recently held in Adelaide, Australia, winning four gold
medals and one silver medal; and the 16 members of the Army Women’s Volleyball
Team who also won the championship in the Philippine Super Liga (PSL)
Volleyball Tournament held at San Juan arena.
“I congratulate all the proud members of the Women’s
Volleyball Team for winning the finals and bagging the championship award and
the Army Dragon Warriors for their wins in the 10th IDBF World Club Crews Championship.
This victory meant more than bringing honor and pride to the Philippine Army,”
Año said.
It can be recalled that the Army Dragon Warriors dedicated
their wins to the 18 Army soldiers who died in Basilan.
