Members of the Philippine Army on Monday reaffirmed their commitment to adhere to the highest standard 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 Headquarters Philippine Army in Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City.

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

Army Commanding General, LtGen. Roy Galido reminded the soldiers to become role models in demonstrating 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 a foundation of our character," said Galido.
