CAMP CAPINPIN, Tanay, Rizal (DWDD) – The 2nd Infantry (Jungle Fighter) Division officially opened the Candidate Soldier Course Class 510-2017 on November 21, 2017 at the 2nd Division Training School at 10:30am.



The program started with an invocation led by the 2DTS Sergeant Major, Msg Harold A Viniegas. Col Marceliano V Teofilo, the Chief of Staff, delivered his welcome remarks for the guests and students of the said training.



The one hundred ninety seven (197) students were then presented by Commandant 2DTS, Col Rogelio P Percol. Col Arnold M Macadangdang, the Division Inspector General, then officially declared the opening of the said course. An oath taking followed and was administered to the students by the Division Adjutant, Maj Demier A Bacasmas.



During his message, Col Macadangdang reminded the students of the hardships ahead of them, “Nais ko kayong paalalahanan na hindi magiging madali ang inyong paglalakbay tungo sa pagtatapos ng kurso na ito. Minsan maliligaw kayo at may mga pagkakataon din na maiisip ninyong huminto na at bumalik kung saan kayo nagsimula. Kapag dumating kayo sa puntong ito, maari kayong magpahinga sandali pero huwag kayong susuko.”











The reception rites immediately followed after the message of Col Macadangdang.
The 197 members of CSC 510-2017 will be deployed to the 51st Engineering Brigade of the Philippine Army upon completion of their training. 2ID/MCAG
