The Philippine Army wrapped up the two-day 14th Senior Leaders Conference (SLC)—an annual summit that aims to cultivate the culture of strategic thinking within the organization and introduce effective leadership principles to the Army top brass—at Fort Bonifacio, Metro Manila on March 17, 2022.
This year’s edition of SLC is anchored on the theme “Driving the Transformation Momentum: Winning Tomorrow’s Wars Today.” Around 70 senior leaders attended the symposium physically at the Philippine Army Officers’ Clubhouse while more than 200 others joined via video teleconferencing. Local and foreign subject matter experts delivered online lectures on three modules: future of warfare and its implications on Army concepts and capabilities; rethinking military leadership strategies; and “future-proofing” the Philippine Army.
The SLC, which was first held in 2004, is part of a series of month-long events to celebrate the 125th founding anniversary of the Philippine Army. The command also launched three comprehensive information systems designed to provide responsive and relevant services to Army personnel on the second day of the conference.
“Being the last line of defense in territorial defense following the Air Force and Navy, our Army must likewise beef-up its modernization program. We need to be abreast with emerging systems, technology and hardware to keep up with modern warfare techniques. But these would not be possible without proper budget and funding. Thus, rest assured that the national government fully supports the PA’s modernization thrusts,” DILG Sec. Eduardo M. Año, who served as the SLC guest of honor and speaker, said in his remarks.
