The office of Senator Robin Padilla is organizing a Basic Citizen Military Training for Senate officials and employees from March to June 2024.
Padilla, a reserve Lieutenant Colonel in the Philippine Army, said the Basic Citizen Military Training aims to establish formal, actual and physical training for Senate officials and employees who sign up.
“Ang mga matagumpay na makakatapos sa pagsasanay ay magiging bahagi po ng Reserve Force ng Sandatahang Lakas ng Pilipinas at mabibigyan ng military rank base sa kanilang kwalipikasyon,” the legislator said.
“Basic military training, especially among the youth, can develop discipline not only for defending the country but to respond to disasters.”
Earlier, the lawmaker stressed the need for basic military training especially among the youth, so they can develop discipline not only for defending the country, but to respond to disasters.
An advisory to all Senate employees from the Deputy Secretary for External Affairs and Relations said a forum will be held on March 14 at the Senate multipurpose room at the second floor.
Interested applicants are to fill out an online registration form, according to Enrique Luis Papa, deputy secretary for external affairs and relations.
Registration desks are set up on the fourth and fifth floors to offer assistance with registration.
A checklist for the Basic Citizen Military Course includes:
* accomplished Reservist Information Data Sheet
