The Naval Reserve Center Eastern Visayas through Philippine Marine Corps successfully conducted the Modified Call-to-Arms for CL 10 “BAGANI” at Brgy. Kawit, Medellin, Cebu, facilitated by the personnel from the Assistant Chief of Marine Staff for RRA, MC9, headed by MAJ MARK JOSEPH M ZUNIEGA PN(M), Chief of Ready Force Development.

The activity was participated in by 48 strong Marine Reservist Personnel from the 82nd Marine Battalion Reserve under the Naval Reserve Center – Eastern Visayas, who underwent a rigorous five (5) day training designed to instill the core values, discipline, and fighting spirit of a Philippine Marine.

The participants first completed a two (2) day Marine Corps Ethos Lecture, where they were immersed in the traditions, principles, and warrior culture of the Philippine Marine Corps. This was followed by three (3) days of practical exercises, including the challenging 11 station Obstacle Course, testing their physical endurance, mental toughness, teamwork, and determination — proving the essence that the Marine Emblem is “𝘌𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘥, 𝘕𝘰𝘵 𝘎𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘯.”

The ceremony was graced by the keynote speaker, MGEN VICENTE MAP BLANCO III PN(M), Commandant, Philippine Marine Corps, represented by COL BELINDA R FERRER-ALONTO PN(M)(GSC), Assistant Chief of Marine Staff for RRA, MC9, who delivered an inspiring message emphasizing honor, courage, patriotism, and the responsibility carried by every Marine Reservist.

As the training culminated in the Pinning Ceremony, the participants proudly received the insignia symbolizing their dedication, perseverance, and commitment to service.

Class 10 “BAGANI” now stands ready to uphold the proud traditions and warrior spirit of the Philippine Marine Corps in service to God, Country, and People.

⚓ BRAVO ZULU! ⚓

Bravo Zulu to ENS MARIZ LUPA PN on your new assignment.

May you continue to lead and excel wherever you are called to serve.

Fair winds and following seas. 🌊⚓

A meaningful milestone was marked during the Change of Head of Office Ceremony presided over by CAPT EMMANUEL A PANTALEON PN(GSC), as leadership responsibilities were formally transitioned in a solemn and dignified rite.

Outgoing Officer ENS MARIZ S LUPA PN officially relinquished her duties as Officer-in-Charge, RRA to ENS JOSHUA A ALCOVINDAS PN, and her responsibilities as Officer-in-Charge, ADMIN to ENS NICO M MARIÑO PN. The ceremony symbolized not only the transfer of authority but also the continuity of service, accountability, and commitment to excellence within the unit.

In her heartfelt message, ENS LUPA reflected on her journey with humility and strength. She shared a light yet meaningful anecdote about often being mistaken for someone much younger because of her height, recalling how she was once told, half-jokingly, that she looked like “parang batang inutusan bumili ng suka.” Though she smiled at the remark, she carried within her a powerful reminder:

“𝘓𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 — 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘣𝘺 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵.
𝘕𝘰𝘵 𝘣𝘺 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 — 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘣𝘺 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘨𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘺.

𝘚𝘰 𝘐 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘥 𝘶𝘱 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘥.
𝘐 𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘬𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦.
𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘺𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘪𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦.
𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘐 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘥 — 𝘪𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘥.”

Her words resonated deeply, reminding everyone present that true leadership transcends physical attributes and is anchored in character, competence, and unwavering dedication.

As ENS LUPA steps forward to new endeavors, her contributions and example remain a testament to steadfast service. With confidence and trust, the unit now looks ahead as ENS ALCOVINDAS and ENS MARIÑO assume their new roles, ready to uphold the standards of leadership and integrity entrusted to them.

The ceremony stood as a proud affirmation that leadership is a shared mission — carried not by stature, but by strength of heart and commitment to serve.

BRAVO ZULU!

A meaningful learning experience unfolded as Reservists and ROTC cadets of the Naval Reserve Center Eastern Visayas took part in the Shipboard Tour aboard the newly commissioned BRP Diego Silang (FFG-07).

The activity provided participants with first-hand exposure to life at sea, naval ship organization, safety protocols, and the operational environment of a modern Philippine Navy warship. Through guided tours and onboard briefings, the trainees gained valuable insight into the roles, responsibilities, and discipline required of naval personnel while strengthening their appreciation of naval service.

Commissioned on 05 April 2023, the BRP Diego Silang (FFG-07) is a guided-missile frigate built by Hyundai Heavy Industries in Ulsan, South Korea. As one of the most advanced surface combatants of the Philippine Navy, the ship is equipped with modern sensors, weapons, and command systems designed to enhance maritime security, territorial defense, and humanitarian assistance and disaster response operations.

This shipboard tour not only enriched the knowledge and skills of the reservists and ROTC cadets but also reinforced their commitment to serve with competence, patriotism, and professionalism—steadfast in support of the Navy’s mission to protect our seas and the Filipino people.

The conference served as a vital platform for guidance, coordination, and alignment of operational priorities, strengthening unity of effort and enhancing organizational readiness.
