CAMP SIONGCO, Maguindanao – At least 227 fresh infantrymen took their oath as new members of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) under the Army’s 6th Infantry Division (6ID) based in this province on Friday.
The new soldiers, consisting of 38 women and 189 men, took their oath at the 6ID Training School in Barangay Semba in Datu Odin Sinsuat town.
They belong to the “Matindig” Class, which stands for “Mandirigmang may Tikas Na Dignidad.”
The graduates began their training last March 1, undergoing basic military tactics and war-fighting competency drills, among others.
Candidate soldier Jodelio Amor B. Esteban received the leadership award for demonstrating an outstanding attitude, military knowledge, and exemplary military bearing.
He also received the physical fitness proficiency award for obtaining the highest rating in the physical fitness test with a general average of 98 percent.
Likewise, candidate soldier Noel N. Catahom was “Top Gun”, receiving the special award for obtaining the highest rating in basic marksmanship with a general average of 100 percent.
“I am confident that you have learned a lot in your six-month training that our organization needs,” said Maj. Gen. Diosdado Carreon, 6ID commander and chief of the Joint Task Force Central.
The new soldiers will be deployed to various units within the 6ID area of operation in the provinces of North Cotabato, Lanao del Sur, Maguindanao, Sultan Kudarat, South Cotabato, and parts of Sarangani.
