Almost 2,000 Army aspirants joined the two-day Philippine Army recruitment caravan at the Headquarters Philippine Army Grandstand, Fort Bonifacio, Metro Manila from March 12 to 13 2022.
Some 1,212 aspiring enlisted personnel and 500 aspiring officers registered to take the pre-qualifying Armed Forces of the Philippines Service Aptitude Test (AFPSAT) during the weekend caravan. AFPSAT passers still need to hurdle interviews, physical fitness test, trade test, and physical, medical and neuropsychiatric exams to determine if they are qualified for training. The caravan —which is spearheaded by the Army Personnel Management Center—is part of the series of month-long activities to celebrate the Army's 125th founding anniversary.
Nine Philippine Army Major Units (PAMUs)—Aviation Regiment, Armor Division, Signal Regiment, Civil Military Operations Regiment, 51st Engineer Brigade, Special Forces Regiment (Airborne), First Scout Ranger Regiment, Army Support Command, and the Army Artillery Regiment— joined the caravan and set-up recruitment booths, and static displays to inform Army aspirants about the diverse functions of soldiers in the organization.
The Philippine Army Office of the Assistant Chief of Staff for Reservist and Retiree Affairs (OG9, PA) also set-up a booth for ROTC cadets and aspiring members of the reserve force. Additionally, 138 applicants applied for Civilian Human Resource (CHR) posts at the booth of the Civilian Personnel Management Branch of the Philippine Army Office of the Assistant Chief of Staff for Personnel (OG1, PA).
The Philippine Army is set to recruit around more soldiers to bolster the defense of the country’s land domain.
