“Anything started must be finished or completed. It is not wise to start as many a job and end’s up with nothing to claim as done” – BGEN SIMOY. 2009 is in the year of OX, we will feel the yoke of responsibilities coming down on us this year. No success can be achieved without conscientious efforts. The trials and tribulations the Ox year bring will be mainly on the home front. It is good time to settle domestic affairs and put your house in order. The Brigade can modestly state that we have a gentleman to put this in order-BGEN FELIZARDO A SIMOY AFP, the 16th Commander of the Brigade, the Spartan influence of the newly promoted general will be constantly cracking whip to project accomplishment.
