| 1ID gets new chaplain, 11 junior officers Posted: 31 Aug 2021 01:47 AM PDT MAJOR General Generoso Ponio, 1st Infantry "Tabak" Division (ID) commander, told the newly-assigned officers, especially the newly-commissioned into the military service, to do their best in the performance of duty. Ponio welcomed and recognized the new command chaplain and the 11 newly assigned Second Lieutenants during Monday's (August 30) flag-raising ceremony at the grandstand of Camp Major Cesar Sang-an, home of the 1ID in Pulacan, Labangan, Zamboanga del Sur. The new command chaplain is Major Robert Diosay, a native of Ilocos Sur. The junior officers are graduates of the Officer Candidate Course Class 54-2020 and one from the Nurse Corps. The newly assigned officers are: Second Lieutenants Jasper Ugali, Verden Lucas, Nowelyn Alo, Mark Joseph Abad, Renz Jamiel Laureta, Joshua Capillo, Edin Jireh Copliting, Karen Versoza, Jon Anilao, James Estrada, and Edmar Anog, who is from the Nurse Corps. "Do not think of what source of commission you belong, but think of what you can contribute to the 1st Infantry Division. Just blend, be a part of the team, and do your best," Ponio told the junior officers. As a tradition, the newly assigned Second Lieutenants receive their "Tabak" patch from Ponio during the flag-raising ceremony. The junior officers will be assigned later to the different units under the 1ID. (SunStar Zamboanga)  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

| 3 Sulu island towns receive desalination machines Posted: 31 Aug 2021 12:53 AM PDT THE Ministry of the Interior and Local Government in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (MILF-Barmm) released three desalination machines worth P60 million on Saturday, August 28, to the Provincial Government of Sulu. Sulu Provincial Administrator Erwin Tan, who received the desalination machines on behalf of Governor Abdusakur Tan, said the equipment are intended for the island towns of Hadji Panglima Tahil, Pandami, and Pata. Each desalination machine has an output capacity of 22,000 liters of water per day and can operate for eight to 10 hours. Each machines costs P20 million. The MILF-Barmm said the desalination machines are the first three of the 10 sets of machines to be distributed to the provinces of Sulu and Tawi-Tawi. The distribution of the desalination machines seeks to address the scarcity of safe drinking water in the island provinces of Barmm. Tan said the machines will be of great help to ease the burden of residents living in the island towns in accessing clean potable water. "On behalf of Governor Abdusakur Tan, we are thankful to Barmm Chief Minister Ahod Ebrahim, MILG Minister Naguib Sinarimbo, at Barmm Government for the machines," Tan said. Emini Dadiri, MILG-Sulu provincial director, said the ministry eyes provision of additional desalination machines to the other island municipalities and coastal villages in the province.
