The Philippine Army Special Enlistment Board convened for the selection of soldiers with skills as Multimedia Professionals. These soldier applicants will fill up the special enlistment quota for the Civil Military Operations Regiment.
There were 4,883 who registered for the call. Out of this, only 4,070 were valid emails and were sent the full information on what the recruitment is all about. From this number, only 745 responded for the next step. These 745 were screened through their Comprehensive Resume and their portfolio that resulted to 61 Applicants that were sent the message to signify for the Trade Test. Out of the 57 who responded to take the Trade Test, only 44 submitted outputs. The validation and Interview was then conducted to only 31. They will proceed to a series of medical examinations to finalize their journey to eventually become members of the Philippine Army.
A Special Enlistment is a mode of becoming a soldier where some requirements are waived in consideration for skills that the organization needs. During the COVID 19 Pandemic, the Philippine Army has recruited through this mode Doctors, Nurses and other Medical Professionals. These new soldiers are now deployed as frontliners to include those that were recently deployed in Cebu as part of the AFP Medical Team. This recruitment for Multimedia Professionals will support the Army's need to improve Public Relations and develop communication campaigns.
