LOVE OF THE COUNTRY

It is the dominant nature of an Army

soldier to love his country. It is for the nation
that a soldier unquestionably commits to a
life of service, the highest value that the
Filipino soldier acquires. It is not measured by
cash, rank nor belonging. The vitality drives
the soldier as the protector of national
power. He remains by his vow of service with
a strong heart,
 CORE VALUES - LOVE OF THE COUNTRY

realizing that regardless if he is eventually

left standing alone or dying in the war
zone, he rests content with the thought
that his purpose of existence has been
satisfied. It is this love for country that
infests each reference of valor for
deserving soldiers, valor that further
elevates the spirit of the country.
 CORE VALUES

VALOR

Valor streams normally from one's

affection for the nation. It is the capacity
to conquer fear in doing one's objective.
Courage is beyond bravery like going
after a mission despite seemingly
insurmountable opposition. It is
ascertaining yet not self-destructive. With
valor you make the wisest decision.
 CORE VALUES - VALOR

In shaping the Filipino soldier’s identity, even

beyond valor, one could also see the strong
sense of honor that resonated with the call
to arms in the past.
Your valor will allow you to do the following:
⦿ Control your fear in physical and moral
context.
⦿ Take responsibility for your actions, mistakes
and decisions.
⦿ Confront problems and do what you
believe is right.
⦿ Report successes and failure with equal
candor
 CORE VALUES

HONOR
Honor is the Military crowning value, the
hallmark of military conduct, the nature of the
soldier's awareness of individual dignity and
self-worth. The soldier conveys his honor in
meeting the military basic from prelude and
crusade to the consequence. Regardless of
the field, honor is regarded in one's self as in
the other. In outward appearance, honor is
found in cleanliness of the individual,
courteousness, decency in daily living and
 CORE VALUES - HONOR
reasonability in the utilization of individual or
country resources. It appears in the candor,
straightforwardness in speech and in action.
An individual soldier with honor does the
following:
› Develop and maintain a keen sense of
ethical conduct.
› Adhere to the public code of professional
Philippine Army values.
› Identity with the ideals embodied in the
Philippine Army values.
 CORE VALUES

LOYALTY
Loyalty underlies the soldier's Oath of
Service. It demands obedience to the
lawful privileges of duly constituted
authority in the quest for the nation's
interest, observance of the Chain of
Command and compliance with orders to
the best of one's capacity as all orders
must be complied.
 CORE VALUES - LOYALTY
Loyalty while itself a cause, procures the
harvest of military solidarity. It foster
cohesion, true sympathy toward the
welfare of every individual from the Army
and those they work with, and is best
expressed in every member's adherence to
the military value system as clarified, much
as he will undoubtedly take after the
guideline of law and principles and
standards of the nation.
 CORE VALUES - LOYALTY

An individual soldier of loyalty displays the

following:

⦿ Put obligations in correct order:

› the Constitution, the Philippine Army, the unit
and finally, self.
⦿ Show faithfulness to unit and comrades
by finishing all tasks with them.
⦿ Carry out tough orders without expressing
personal criticism.
⦿ Defend soldiers against unfair treatment.
 CORE VALUES

DUTY

Duty is service plain and simple. Actual

duty means being always ready, all senses
employed and utilized whether in the
garrison or in the field. Duty means
satisfying your commitment. The
demanding standard of duty additionally
requires that those in charge positions
release their obligations without bounds.
 CORE VALUES - DUTY
Expressing the value of duty means, at a
minimum, doing the following:

⦿ Carrying out the requirements of the

position to the best of your ability.
⦿ Fulfill legal, civic and moral obligations.
⦿ Sacrifice personal time in pursuit of
excellence
 CORE VALUES

SOLIDARITY
Solidarity is fellowship at the visible
level and internally being adjusted to the
Philippine Army's goals, vision and
programs for reform. Solidarity ties the
Army to oneness with the yearnings of the
rest of the country in the way of a Filipino
proud with his nation.
 STANDARDS OF CONDUCT

⦿ Pursuit of Excellence
⦿ Pride in Uniform
⦿ Discipline
⦿ Professionalism
⦿ Adherence to Law
⦿ Deference to Authority
 STANDARDS OF CONDUCT

PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE
Each soldier strives to perfect his craft to
achieve his mission. He should have full
knowledge of his job, has proficiency in
training and in combat, in peacekeeping
and in the implementation of national
policies for development.
 STANDARDS OF CONDUCT

PRIDE IN UNIFORM
The military uniform reflects not only the
personality of the individual soldier but also
that of the whole organization. It is the
responsibility of the soldier to take extra
care and use of his uniform and all insignias
he carries on them, for it is in this simple
ritual that the soldier is set apart from the
rest.
 STANDARDS OF CONDUCT

DISCIPLINE
A soldier is a model of self-discipline.
Discipline is equally vital to preservation of
life as much as to the success of military
operations and demands unconditional
compliance as its foremost aspect. It can
preserve your life thus it is enforced by
those in authority and must be followed
without reservation.
 STANDARDS OF CONDUCT

PROFESSIONALISM
Professionalism in the military career stands
for commitment, knowledge and skills and
is better expressed in one’s attention to
duty with the required discipline and
competence. It gives rise to impartiality,
objectivity and non-partisanship that are
necessary to support common goals for
the welfare of the population.
 STANDARDS OF CONDUCT

ADHERENCE TO LAW
All soldiers are both citizens and military
personnel, hence are subject to the same
law and shall uphold the same as part of
their duty of service to the country. In case
of conflict, the higher military standard of
conduct required under the same set of
circumstances in either system, is always
paramount.
 STANDARDS OF CONDUCT

DEFERENCE TO AUTHORITY
Authority within the military is evident in the
Chain of Command, starting with the Non-
Commissioned Officer in the most vital role
as implementer and the succession of
Commanding Officer before him through
which the commands are progressively
issued and implemented. Deference to
civil authority is likewise required as a
function of soldier’s responsibility.
 APPLICATION

The primary responsibility regarding

ingraining and strengthening the values
and standards of conduct is vested in
the military leadership. Officers and
NCOs in command and control positions
should commit these values to memory
and be in a position to clarify the same
when inquired.
 APPLICATION

The soldier is well aware of the methods for the

world and constantly utilizes his knowledge of
human nature when confronted with
circumstances not particularly met in his
training courses. Values are taught by
perception and practice over time. Thus, it is
normal that steady survey of one's self in the
dynamism of daily life will guide the right
application of the prior qualities and
standards of conduct in military life, for this
code to endure and be relevant for the
decades ahead.
