BACOLOD City – Thirteen non-commissioned officers of the Army’s 303rd Infantry Brigade (IBde) in Negros Occidental were promoted to higher ranks.

Brigadier General Inocencio Pasaporte, 303rd IBde commander, led the donning of ranks during the flag-raising ceremony at the headquarters in Barangay Minoyan, Murcia town last Monday.

Pasaporte lauded the achievements and hard work of the newly promoted personnel.

“May this serve as an inspiration to you and your family. Congratulations on your well-deserve promotion,” he said.

Pasaporte said it is a recognition for their contribution to the organization and a manifestation of the hard work they bestowed while in the military service.

“Greater promotion entails greater responsibilities and as your rank gets higher, so does development, maturity, and opportunities for you to excel more on the tasks delegated to you,” Pasaporte said.

He added that he is confident that these enlisted personnel will carry out their tasks with utmost excellence with this promotion.

The pinning of ranks is a military tradition administered to recognize and highlight a milestone in a military personnel’s career.

It also means a new chapter in their noble profession that carries more responsibility.
