The Army said its theme denotes “a sense of purpose for our soldiers to work and labor unselfishly as an expression of their love for the country and its people.”
In celebrating the anniversary, the Army also invited the public to join their short film competition dubbed the “Alamat ng Army,” which aimed to show the “evolution of Fort Bonifacio and relive memories of those who used to work, live, and pass the old through a series of digital content.”
“The contest enjoins the public to pitch in their entries that reflect the Army’s core values of honor, duty, and patriotism, and how every Filipino can contribute to nation-building,” the PA noted.
“The Philippine Army remains persistent in fulfilling significant strides to help the national government create a conducive environment for lasting peace and sustainable development for our country,” it further said.
