LOVE OF THE COUNTRY

It is the dominant nature of an Army soldier to love

standing alone or dying in the war zone, he rests
content with the thought that his purpose of
existence has been satisfied. It is this love for
country that infests each reference of valor for
deserving soldiers, valor that further elevates the
spirit of the country.

VALOR
 
Valor streams normally from one's affection
for the nation. It is the capacity to conquer fear in

insurmountable opposition. It is ascertaining yet
not self-destructive. With valor you make the
wisest decision.

that resonated with the call to arms in the past.

decisions.

as in the other. In outward appearance, honor is found
in cleanliness of the individual, courteousness, decency

constituted authority in the quest for the nation's
interest, observance of the Chain of Command and
compliance with orders to the best of one's capacity
as all orders must be complied.
 CORE VALUES - LOYALTY
Loyalty while itself a cause, procures the harvest of
military solidarity. It foster cohesion, true sympathy
toward the welfare of every individual from the

undoubtedly take after the guideline of law and
principles and standards of the nation.

personal criticism.
⦿Defend soldiers against unfair treatment.
 CORE VALUES

DUTY
 
Duty is service plain and simple. Actual duty means
being always ready, all senses employed and
utilized whether in the garrison or in the field. Duty
means satisfying your commitment. The demanding
standard of duty additionally requires that those in
charge positions release their obligations without
bounds.

rest of the country in the way of a Filipino proud
with his nation.
 STANDARDS OF CONDUCT

⦿Discipline

 STANDARDS OF CONDUCT

PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE
Each soldier strives to perfect his craft to achieve
his mission. He should have full knowledge of his
job, has proficiency in training and in combat, in
peacekeeping and in the implementation of national
policies for development.
 STANDARDS OF CONDUCT

PRIDE IN UNIFORM
The military uniform reflects not only the
personality of the individual soldier but also that of
the whole organization. It is the responsibility of the
soldier to take extra care and use of his uniform and
all insignias he carries on them, for it is in this
simple ritual that the soldier is set apart from the
rest.
 STANDARDS OF CONDUCT

DISCIPLINE
A soldier is a model of self-discipline. Discipline is
equally vital to preservation of life as much as to
the success of military operations and demands
unconditional compliance as its foremost aspect. It
can preserve your life thus it is enforced by those in
authority and must be followed without reservation.
 STANDARDS OF CONDUCT

PROFESSIONALISM
Professionalism in the military career stands for
commitment, knowledge and skills and is better
expressed in one’s attention to duty with the
required discipline and competence. It gives rise
to impartiality, objectivity and non-partisanship that
are necessary to support common goals for the
welfare of the population.
 STANDARDS OF CONDUCT

ADHERENCE TO LAW
All soldiers are both citizens and military personnel,
hence are subject to the same law and shall uphold
the same as part of their duty of service to the
country. In case of conflict, the higher military
standard of conduct required under the same set of
circumstances in either system, is always
paramount.
 STANDARDS OF CONDUCT

DEFERENCE TO AUTHORITY
Authority within the military is evident in the Chain
of Command, starting with the Non-Commissioned
Officer in the most vital role as implementer and the
succession of Commanding Officer before him
through which the commands are progressively
issued and implemented. Deference to civil
authority is likewise required as a function of
soldier’s responsibility.
 APPLICATION

The primary responsibility regarding ingraining and

strengthening the values and standards of conduct
is vested in the military leadership. Officers and
NCOs in command and control positions should
commit these values to memory and be in a
position to clarify the same when inquired.
 APPLICATION

The soldier is well aware of the methods for the world

and constantly utilizes his knowledge of human nature
when confronted with circumstances not particularly
met in his training courses. Values are taught by
perception and practice over time. Thus, it is normal
that steady survey of one's self in the dynamism of
daily life will guide the right application of the prior
qualities and standards of conduct in military life, for
this code to endure and be relevant for the decades
ahead.
