Army Commanding General Lt. Gen. Romeo S. Brawner, Jr., lauded the 53rd Engineer “Visayas Builders” Brigade led by Col. Proceso S. Rebancos, for its contribution to the nation-building particularly its humanitarian assistance and disaster-response (HADR) efforts for Typhoon "Odette" victims in his visit to Camp Lapu-lapu, Cebu City on March 5, 2022.
In his “Talk to Troops,” CGPA commended the Visayas Builders for building key road projects in far-flung upland communities and for launching HADR efforts in the aftermath of Typhoon “Odette.” Lt. Gen. Brawner enjoined the brigade to continue its community-support programs and other nation-building efforts.
"Our purpose at the Headquarters is to serve and support you—our operating units on the ground. Looking at the accomplishments that you have achieved in the recent months, you have done a lot to serve the people and secure the land," the CGPA remarked.
The CGPA also reiterated to the Visayas Builders his three thrusts and two tasks encapsulated in the command guidance "SERVE".
Lt. Gen. Brawner has vowed to take care of the soldiers’ physical and mental health; enhance soldiers’ skills and unit capabilities; and push down resources to all units. He underscored that the three thrusts will fully capacitate the Army to achieve victory against threat groups before the June 2022 set by the president and ensure a safe and orderly national and local polls on May 2022.
