The 516th Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps Unit (NROTCU) of Palompon Institute of Technology (PIT) conducted its 10th Saturday Formation on October 17, 2026, at the PIT Oval Ground and PIT Gymnasium.

The activity began with the Morning Colors led by M/CDR Cris Angelo P Cabalhin 2CL, with M/LTJG Pryll Jacob Pol 3CL, serving as Color Officer. Following the ceremony, the cadets and cadettes proceeded to the PIT Gymnasium for the rank inspection.

After the inspection, PO2 Jerome A Arquillano PN, discussed Map Reading and Land Navigation, focusing on the basic knowledge and skills needed to understand maps and navigate through different locations. The discussion helped the cadets and cadettes understand how to read map symbols, identify directions, and determine locations using a map. Following the lecture, the cadets and cadettes proceeded with the practical exercises, where they applied the knowledge they gained during the discussion. This activity allowed them to develop their ability to interpret maps, recognize directions, and understand the importance of proper navigation in military training.

The 516th Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps Unit (NROTCU) of Palompon Institute of Technology (PIT) conducted its 9th Saturday Formation on October 10, 2026, at the PIT Oval Ground and PIT Gymnasium. The activity opened with Morning Colors, led by M/CDR Cris Angelo P Cabalhin 2CL, with M/LTJG Mark V Sarguet 3CL, serving as Color Officer. This was followed by the First Muster and Rank Inspection to check attendance, uniforms, and proper military bearing.

Upon completion of the formation activities, the cadets took their First Semester Midterm Examination to assess their knowledge and understanding of the lessons covered during the first half of the semester. The examination required proper preparation, focus, and responsibility from every cadet.

The formation and examination highlighted the importance of alertness, proper conduct, and academic readiness. These activities helped reinforce the cadetsโ€™ knowledge, maintain military standards, and prepare them to take on greater responsibilities as future leaders.

To all teachers and educators, we salute your dedication to shaping minds, building character, and guiding the next generation. Teaching goes beyond the classroomโ€”it is about showing the right path, setting the right example, and inspiring others to become responsible and capable leaders.

Your teachings are not limited to words. Through your actions and example, you show us the value of discipline, responsibility, respect, and service. Every lesson and every challenge becomes part of the foundation we carry as we continue to grow and lead.

A true teacher does more than share knowledge. A true teacher builds confidence, develops discipline, corrects with purpose, and inspires others to become better. In the same way, a true leader continues to teach through example. Today, we honor everyone who has taken the responsibility to teach, guide, and lead. Your influence reaches far beyond the classroom and training groundโ€”it becomes part of the character and leadership of those you have guided.
