TDPC, bridging the gap between the Army and the people

LABANGAN, Zamboanga del Sur, April 30 (PIA)-- The partnership between the 1st Infantry (Tabak) Division, Philippine Army and the newly-elected officers of the Tabak Defense Press Corps (TDPC) is very important in the  quest for peace and development.

BGen. Rolando T. Ancan, commander of the 1st Infantry (Tabak) Division,  said in his message during the media fellowship night held at Camp Major Cesar Sang-an, Pulacan recently.

Ancan said the TDPC, composed of reporters covering the Tabak division beat,  play a significant role in military affairs. “You play a key role in bridging the gap between the AFP and the people,” he added.

He also said that the Philippine Army particularly the 1st Infantry Division recognizes the media   as a channel for quick means of disseminating information and educating the public in various trends.

“You have the function to report without fear the misbehavior of our government and its programs towards peace and development, as well as its efforts for lasting  peace and security,” Ancan stated.

The Tabak commander said that TDPC’s capability in the swift relay of information  is a revitalizing force especially in the non-combat operations of the Army.

He encouraged the TDPC to strictly adhere to the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas (KBP) codes, to continue exercising responsible journalism and to deliver right and factual information to the public.

The event was highlighted with the induction ceremony of the newly-elected officers, fun shoot, rappelling and boodle fight.
