Army Chief envisions an Army Strong in Faith
FORT BONIFACIO, Metro Manila - Army chief Lt Gen Delfin N Bangit wants a
Philippine Army that is not only strong in war fighting but also strong
in faith. This, he expressed as he spoke before the participants of the
Purpose-Driven Life Seminar during its Closing Ceremony at the
Philippine Army headquarters yesterday.
In its effort to inculcate among Army personnel the necessary values and
morals, the command continues to support activities focusing on the
spiritual life of soldiers and activities which aim to strengthen the
soldiers' faith.
Values formation and the orientation of the individual soldier is a
prime concern of the Philippine Army. In this age of technology and
innovations, the Philippine Army still recognizes the need to strengthen
the soldiers' moral well-being. With the conduct of Purpose-Driven Life
Seminars and other similar undertakings, the Philippine Army continues
to impart among its personnel the values and attitude for them to be
upright, respectable, and decent, which in turn is necessary for the
accomplishment of the Philippine Army mission, because accomplishment in
any field also depends on the attitude and values with which the
individual act.
"Now that you have discovered how God works in your life, I hope that
you would share your faith by being the living examples of God's
goodness. In this way, more than being the Philippine Army, you will be
God's Army," Lt Gen Bangit concluded. #
