I officially joined the Philippine ARMY today because I love my country. I would like to thank the people that have been very supportive. Exciting times ahead. 👊 🙏 “The rank is emplaced near their heart because it means only those who have the heart to serve will be fit to wear the uniform,” MGen Bernie Langub said. “It is beyond the uniform, it is all about willingness to serve the country and being prepared for any eventuality.” #philippines #army #arescom @philippinearmy
