THE EASTERN Mindanao Command (EastMinCom) held the traditional New Year’s Call, honoring its victories and reaffirming its commitment to serving the nation.
The event, held on Jan. 13, brought together EastMinCom Commander LtGen. Luis Rex D. Bergante PA, commanders from various joint task forces and brigades, and key personnel accompanied by their spouses, as well as officers from operational control and post units, including chiefs of offices, staff officers, enlisted personnel, and civilian human resources.
“This New Year’s Call isn’t just another event on the calendar; it’s a celebration of our shared ikigai – our mission and dedication to the peace and security of Eastern Mindanao,” emphasized Commodore Dwight Steven M. Dulnoan PN(M), the newly installed EastMinCom deputy commander.
“This is where the heart of EastMinCom beats strongest. What the command achieved together this past year, especially on the success of our internal security operations, was a testament to the bravery and dedication of our joint task forces and the innovative strategies developed by our staff officers.”
Leading the traditional New Year’s toast, Bergante expressed his gratitude to the Commanders who have led from the frontlines, driving the Command’s successes.
“I enjoin everyone to continue fulfilling our mandate as the protector of the State and the Filipino. While our labors for the past year delighted us with many meaningful victories, let us be reminded that there is more to be done. May we all offer our utmost dedication to service as we aim directly towards accomplishing our operational and institutional targets,” Bergante said.
