Insights into the Philippine Army’s Mission and Sacrifice

I will do my best to give my part as a Filipino citizen and now part of the Army reserve to represent the Army and AFP the best way possible and to tell and show the people how important the Army in each and every individual to give discipline, honor, and patriotism and to look at our flag with love and to say I’m Filipino and I’m proud of that,” he expressed.
