Members of the Philippine Army on Monday reaffirmed their commitment to adhere to the highest standards of public service under the Armed Forces of the Philippines' code of conduct.

Army spokesperson Col. Xerxes Trinidad said the officers, enlisted personnel, and reservists recited the Oath of Allegiance during the 33rd AFP Code of Conduct Day celebration held at the Philippine Army headquarters in Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City.

"The Code of Conduct Day is one of the ways the AFP continuously reminds soldiers to have a firm respect for the law and the legal processes. It further reiterates the utmost degree of fidelity and good faith in public service," Trinidad said.

Army chief Lt. Gen. Roy Galido reminded the soldiers to be role models and demonstrate discipline at all times.

"We must fully embrace, embody, uphold, and pledge ourselves to maintain a character grounded in our core values. In this endeavor, let integrity and accountability stand as the foundation of our character," Galido said.
