KAMPO RANAO, MARAWI CITY. The 103rd Infantry (HARIBON) Brigade of the Philippine Army based in Kampo Ranao, Marawi City through one of its operationally controlled units, 64th Infantry (Knights) Battalion, donated forty (40) school chairs to Madrasah, the Lanao Islamic Paramedical College Foundation Inc (LIPCFI) on October 06, 2011. These chairs have been constructed by the soldiers of 64IB utilizing the confiscated fletches of lumber yielded from illegal logging. LTC DARIO C BUCAWIT presented the donation before the students, faculty and school administrators of LIPCFI in behalf of 103rd Inf (HARIBON) Bde.
A simple turn-over ceremony of the said chairs was held at the school lobby. One of the students, Ms Eden Camsa of the college of midwifery, extended her gratitude to the military particularly to the Battalion and the Brigade. “I am very happy that the Philippine Army chose our school among other schools in Marawi City to be the recipient of these chairs”, she remarked in delight. LTC BUCAWIT, on the other hand, assured the school of the AFP’s assistance in any way possible. He emphasized that the military presence in the area is not solely to pursue those individuals who have violated the people’s rights but most importantly to tender the government’s services to the people.
Donation of the school chairs was made to strengthen the relationship between the school and the military. Accordingly, it is one way of how soldiers give back to the taxpayers the services they deserve. Said activity is in line with the AFP’s current Internal Peace and Security Plan “Bayanihan” designed to win the peace in every corner of the country.
