THE Philippine Army’s 303rd Infantry Brigade (303IBde) under the leadership of Brigadier General Inocencio Pasaporte, brigade commander, celebrated its 35th Founding Anniversary at Camp Gerona, Barangay Minoyan, Murcia, Negros Occidental on Saturday, July 3, 2021.

Series of activities were conducted to highlight the unit's founding anniversary like a wreath-laying ceremony, mass, blessing of vehicles and pieces of equipment, awarding of military merit medals to its personnel and a simple program. The event followed Covid-19 health and safety protocols and restrictions.

In his message, Pasaporte said, "Our accomplishments would not have been possible without the individual and collective performances of our soldiers on the ground; thus, it is just timely and right to give due credit for all of their sacrifices and their dedication to duty."

"Let us always work together for the greater aspiration of peace and development for the Filipino nation especially in support of our unit's mission accomplishment. We will exemplify honor, patriotism, and duty," he added.
