July 2012
The
Officer Candidate Course curriculum was envisioned to equip new officer
entrants into the Philippine Army with the basic military character,
knowledges, skills and physical fitness required of an officer in the Regular
Force. As such, it is expected that those who have surpassed the training will
be able to do his part as the Army endeavors to achieve its various missions in
line with the AFP and government thrusts. It must be noted that being an
officer of the Philippine Army is both a challenging and demanding job. Here at
OCS, we make sure that each new officer will not only survive in the field, but
also ensure that he or she will be a relevant player in the defense and
development of our homeland and people.
As
the members of OCC “Kabalikat” Class 39-2012 leave the portals of this
institution, let me remind you of your sworn duty to protect the Filipino
people, our Constitution and the country in general. Let me remind you that
from here on, you must live out the values of honor, duty and patriotism. Let
these virtues be your daily guideposts as you embark on a career of service and
sacrifice. Let these virtues consume your character so that wherever you go,
you will be a paragon of the highest standards of Filipino soldiery and a role
model not only for your peers but for every Filipino that you meet.
On
a more important note, let me also point out that the best asset that you will
bring out from this institution is your LEADERSHIP skill. We have equipped you
with the initial leadership skills and principles that you need. This, however,
is not enough. It is therefore incumbent upon you to further develop your
leadership by practicing it and seeking further knowledge on leadership. Early
on, you must realize that different echelons and different tasks require
different leadership outcomes. Learn to adapt and be open to both successes and
failures.
In
conclusion, the officers and enlisted personnel of the Officer Candidate School
congratulate each and every member of Officer Candidate Course “Kabalikat”
Class 39-2012 on your graduation from your course and your subsequent
commission into the Philippine Army. We are hoping that you will be able to use
whatever you have become and whatever you have learned as you start your
military career. Do us proud!
Mabuhay
kayo! Mabuhay ang Hukbong Katihan ng Pilipinas!
