“WE SHOULD be loved by the people and feared by the enemy.”
This was stressed by Major General Benedict Arevalo, newly installed Commander of the 3rd Infantry Division (3ID) of the Philippine Army, in his message to 303rd Brigade troops during his visit on Tuesday, September 28, 2021.
“We should maintain and sustain the partnerships with different stakeholders in order to curb the strength of the Communist Terrorist Groups (CTGs) while also helping in coronavirus disease (Covid-19) responses,” Arevalo said.
“The morale and welfare of the troops must also be considered and given priority,” he said.
Arevalo visited the soldiers stationed in Negros Occidental, particularly the troops of the 303rd Infantry Brigade (IB) at its Headquarters in Camp Major Nelson Gerona, Barangay Minoyan, Murcia on Tuesday, September 28, 2021.
