Army celebrates its contribution to AFP's national endeavors
The Philippine Army celebrated its noteworthy
contributions in accomplishing its mandate as a professional, capable,
and responsive force provider during the Armed Forces of the Philippines
(AFP) 88th founding anniversary rites led by the President and
Commander-in-Chief Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. at the Lapu-Lapu Grandstand,
Camp Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo, Quezon City, Metro Manila on December 21,
2023.
Anchoring on the theme, “AFP@88:
Rising Over the Challenges in Service to the Nation,” the ceremony
highlighted the military’s accomplishments and contributions to the
country’s peace and security. The Philippine Army displayed its
newly-acquired assets featuring the ASCOD II Sabrah Light Tank, ATMOS
155 self-propelled howitzer, armored mortar carriers, and light armored
vehicles.
During the event, the President acknowledged the
contributions of AFP members for their dedication, courage, and
exemplary performance in accomplishing their missions despite the
country's existing security challenges.
The President also hopes that the AFP will continue to
soar high as an organization that defends our country and serves the
Filipino people. “As you continue to play a vital role in the
government’s various initiatives, it is my fervent hope that your
institution will remain relentless in countering lawless elements that
intend to sow fear and distrust amongst our people,” President Marcos
said.
