CAMP ALLEN, Baguio City – The Northern Luzon Command (NOLCOM) Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), along with various state universities and colleges, through the Baguio Schools Division Office’s School Governance and Operations Division and Youth Formation, participated in the 2024 Career Guidance Fair and Caravan conducted last Saturday, April 27, 2024.
The event targeted Grade 10 and 12 students from Baguio City and took place at the PFVR Gymnasium.
Under the theme ‘Navigating a Future Career Path’ the NOLCOM AFP joined the activity in order to advocate military careers and strengthen the role of students in nation building.
This is also part of the NOLCOM’s “Project UniVISITy,” a national security awareness campaign among youth about national security to prevent them from joining the Communist Terrorist Group (CTG) and becoming peace and development advocates.
At the fair, which drew attendees from 20 public national high schools comprising thousands of students, NOLCOM AFP, through the 1st Civil Relations Group (1CRG), CRSAFP, offered students invaluable guidance on prospective career avenues within the uniformed services.
They delved into the requisite qualifications, available opportunities, and the inherent responsibilities associated with military service, emphasizing the significance of discipline, dedication, and commitment in this noble profession.
1CRG CRSAFP group commander Al Anthony B. Pueblas (INF) PA said that the fair is an opportunity to advocate the organization and connect with students who are eager to explore career options.
“Our goal is to inspire the next generation of leaders because we believe and we are still rooting in our youth as the hope of the nation,” Major Pueblas said.
Additionally, a photo gallery and recruitment booth were established, where personnel fielded inquiries regarding the enlistment process into the esteemed profession.
AFP recruitment leaflets were also disseminated to provide further information.
Meanwhile, Chief Education Supervisor Niño Tibangay, appreciated the NOLCOM AFP for its significant involvement in the career guidance fair.
It can be recalled that the NOLCOM AFP, through 1CRG CRSAFP, partnered with the DepEd School Division Office Baguio City on the ‘Project UniVISITy’ and was issued Division Memorandum No. 105-2024, implementing the Career Guidance Program with the Armed Forces of the Philippines.
For this school year, NOLCOM, along with the PNP Cordillera’s RMFB15 and Cordillera Youth Leaders, has already conducted career guidance programs in all public senior high schools in Baguio City.
