In his message, Bishop Florencio said, "I intend to have my pastoral visit to the military camps to assure members of the military of our support, prayers, and assistance. It is also my way of telling every troops that I am taking care and praying for them which will serve as a morale booster for them.”

Meanwhile, Maj. Gen. Patrimonio expressed his profound gratitude to Bishop Florencio, for taking the time to visit the division saying, "This is the first time that a military bishop visited Sulu, this is why the 11th Infantry Division is very fortunate for your pastoral visit.

During his pastoral visit, Bishop Florencio officiated the Holy Mass and Rite for Dedication of Camp Teodulfo Bautista Chapel and Altar. The mass was attended by the soldiers, airmen, and civilian human resources of the Division.
