Army Chief recognizes 6ID
Yesterday, November 9, Army Chief Lt. Gen. Delfin N. Bangit led the 22nd
Founding Anniversary of the 6th Infantry (KAMPILAN) Division (6ID) at
Camp Siongco Awang, Datu Odin Sinsuat, Maguindanao. During the
celebration, the Army Chief spearheaded different activities that prove
6ID's contribution to the success the Philippine Army has been having.
Three ceremonies were conducted during the celebration of the 22nd
Anniversary of 6ID-an on-the-spot promotion, an enlistment of a CAA, and
a ceremonial cutting of firearms. For his outstanding deeds as a member
of the Infantry Division, Pvt. Ransey W. Ruado was promoted to the rank
of "Private First Class (Pfc)." As one of the Infantry Divisions
operating the southern parts of the country, 6ID is most especially in
need of valiant soldiers such as Pfc. Ruado and the Army Chief never
forgets to recognize them.
Another recognition of patriotism was spearheaded by Lt. Gen. Bangit as
CAA Jonan G. Bartolome took his formal oath as a regular member of the
Philippine Army under 6ID. Sharing the same love for the country, the
Army Chief never hesitates in welcoming outstanding individuals to the
Philippine Army.
Lastly, the Army Chief also led the ceremonial cutting of more than a
hundred firearms that were recovered by 6ID during their nation-building
operations. The ceremonial cutting is one of the programs initiated by
the Philippine Army's Captured, Confiscated, Recovered and Surrendered
Firearms that aims at demilitarizing the rebels.
Proving to be a very efficient Infantry Division that operates against
rebel activities in Central Mindanao , 6ID received the ample
commendation and recognition from the Army Chief, as he does the other
Infantry Divisions. However, he reminded everyone that the fight is not
yet done. With the coming of the 2010 deadline, he encourages everyone
to contribute as the Philippine Army delivers the winning shots in this
fight against insurgency.#
