MAJOR General Alvin Luzon, commander of the 10th Infantry Division, urged 94 newly graduated privates to uphold strict military professionalism as they prepare for field deployment across the Davao Region and adjacent operational areas.
Addressing troops during a Commander’s Time session at the 10th Division Training School (10DTS) in Barangay Tuboran on Tuesday, Nov. 10, Luzon challenged the graduates of the Operations Orientation Course (OOC) Class 03-2026 to embed core values—loyalty, commitment, discipline, and faith—into their daily service.
“Loyalty means putting the mission and the organization above personal interests,” Luzon said. “Commitment requires giving your best in every responsibility—hindi pwede ang pwede na.”
The division commander highlighted that true military professionalism extends beyond tactical skills to include sound personal character, accountability, and ethical interactions with both family and local communities.
The 94 new privates will be integrated into various units under the 10ID to bolster ongoing internal security operations aimed at sustaining regional peace gains, while supporting the division’s expanding transition toward territorial defense and external security operations.
“Your conduct and performance on the ground will directly shape the credibility and operational effectiveness of your respective units,” Luzon added, reminding the troops to seek spiritual guidance and maintain moral integrity in the execution of their duties.
