Chairpersons and members of the AFP Selection Board for 2023 take their oath before the OIC-DND, Senior USec Carlito Galvez Jr, on March 20, at the DND Social Hall at Camp Aguinaldo, Quezon City.
The various Boards of the Major Services and the Technical and Administrative Services will implement the AFP's Officer Promotion System. They are among the military’s main screening bodies that perform the tedious and meticulous task of enforcing meritocracy under the principles of merit, fitness, character, honor, and integrity.
In his message to the officers, the OIC-DND shared his trust and confidence in the new officers and members’ integrity, expertise, and experience. “[The officers who took their oath here today] bear the yoke of selecting competent leaders and serve as the vanguard of the AFP leadership,” Senior USec Galvez Jr said.
“Throughout history, the AFP has proven itself as a reliable force in upholding the nation’s sovereignty, defending the constitution, and safeguarding the democratic ideals of our people and institutions,” the OIC-DND added. (Photos by TSgt Obinque PAF, PAOAFP)
