Military Professionalism
“Men who adopt the profession of arms submit their own free will to the
law of perpetual constraints. At their own accord, they reject their right to
live where they choose, to say what they think, to dress as they like from
the moment they become soldiers, it needs but an order to settle them of
this place, to move them to that to separate them from their families and
dislocate their normal lives. On the world of command, they must rise,
march, run, endure the bad weather, go without sleep or food, be isolated
from some distant post and work until they drop. They have cease to be
the master of their own fate. If they drop on their tracks, if their ashes are
scattered into the four winds, that is all part and parcel of their job.

 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. It is
this love for country that infests each reference of
valor for deserving soldiers, valor that further
elevates the spirit of the country.

An individual soldier with honor does the following:

oAdhere to the public code of professional Philippine Army values.
oIdentity with the ideals embodied in the Philippine Army values.
“A soldier’s who has dignity is paramount. A man who has no concept of honor, and does not
