CAMP AGUINALDO, Quezon City—The CSAFP, General Andres C Centino PA, honored fallen officers and enlisted personnel of the Philippine Marine Corps (PMC) as he led the wreath-laying ceremony at the Marine Heroes Memorial at their headquarters in Taguig City, today.
He was assisted by PMC Commandant MGen. Charlton Sean M. Gaerlan, who also welcomed the CSAFP together with his staff.
In his talk to troops, the CSAFP reiterated his guidance to the officers, enlisted personnel, and civilian human resources of the PMC regarding operational efficiency, optimal use of resources, professionalism and meritocracy, and capability development.
He also directed PMC commanders to attend to the morale and welfare of troops by visiting the frontlines, especially remote detachments. “We make sure that you are being seen and not just heard over the radio. You should be seen by your troops, and that is the best motivation you can give your soldiers,” the CSAFP said.
He likewise thanked the PMC for its role in peace and security, especially in the fight against internal threats. “I am encouraging all of you to continue supporting our campaign as most of our fellow soldiers are still out there fighting the remaining insurgents and terrorists,” the CSAFP said.
