CSAFP reunites with the Army troops for Yuletide
FORT BONIFACIO, Metro Manila – “A father’s presence brings heaven
home this Christmas season” - this is how can be best described the
visit of the new Chief of Staff, AFP, Lt. Gen. Benjamin R. Madrigal Jr.
to the Headquarters of Philippine Army (HPA) in Fort Andres Bonifacio,
Taguig City, today, December 19, 2018.
Lt. Gen. Madrigal, the 51st Chief of
Staff, AFP paid his visit to the Army headquarters with the intent of
getting acquainted and reunited with the troops in time for the
celebration of Chrismas. He was accorded with full military honors
spearheaded by Maj. Gen. Robert S. Arevalo, Army Vice Commander together
with the officers, enlisted personnel and civilian employees of the
Command.
The new CSAFP is considered no longer
guest since he had served in various positions at HPA in which, the most
significant is also as Chief of Staff of the Philippine Army in 2016.
In his meeting with the personnel, he
conveyed his thrust and guidance in consonance to the marching orders by
the Commander in-Chief, President Rodrigo R.Duterte. He cited to
instill operational effectiveness in key mission areas for territorial
defense, security, and stability operations. In terms of organizational
excellence, he emphasized adherence on the highest standard of
excellence and professionalism while living up to our core values of
honor, service and patriotism.
He also mentioned that leading the whole
AFP is a great challenge. He recognized the entire Command’s strong
commitment to the campaign for peace and reiterated its contribution in
building a safer and secured nation.
CSAFP emphasized in his message that,
“as we embark on our achievements, let us not be complacent and let us
not allow the Communist-Terrorists Group operations prosper. We will
insulate the communities from any clout of fear, we will stand our
ground.”
“As we fulfill our respective tasks and
responsibilities, let us also take some time to feel the spirit of the
holiday season and reflect on its meaning. The essence of giving also
reflects our commitment for selfless service and dedication,” Lt. Gen.
Madrigal added.
Lt. Gen. Madrigal despite of his busy
and hectic schedule tried to spare time with the troops through a simple
yet appetizing “boodle fight”. A Christmas raffle served also as the
highlight of his visit to the delight of the personnel.#
