514th PROUDLY PRESENTS ITS ACCOMPLISHMENTS

imgAs the 51st Engineer Brigade celebrates its 43rd Founding Anniversary, it makes another year of victory, another year of growth. It brings a joyful celebration of successfully surpassing all the challenges and rigors of serving the nation and the people.

We may rate the accomplishments of the Infantry in terms of body count, captured and surrendered enemy personnel, supporters and sympathizers, firearms recovered, enemy camp overran or discovered, or guerilla fronts dismantled and conclude that they did well. However, there is something that the engineers have done to reinforce these accomplishments of the Army. In promoting stability and progress, the engineers are being tapped to implement infrastructure projects such as school buildings, farm to market roads, water system and electrical facilities.

imgAs part of the implementing units, the 514ECB proudly presents its contributions to all the achievements of the 51st EBde.

imgAs part of the CMO operation activity, this unit was also tasked for the clearing and grubbing of the Gawad Kalinga Project at Tanay, Rizal. 1LT ARNEL LACHAMA of this unit was designated as Officer-in-Charge to this project.
