The MPCF 318th NROTC Unit successfully conducted its 7th Military Science 1 (MS1) Training Day on August 15, 2026, at the MPCF JCJ Complex. The day brought together Drill Instructors, Training Staff, Advance Officers, and MS1 Cadets and Cadettes from both MPCF Canaman and MPCI Naga
The training commenced with the traditional Morning Colors Ceremony, followed by a comprehensive lecture delivered by CP0 Jobert C. Cereno PN (Ret). The session aimed to deepen the cadetsβ understanding of core military concepts, discipline, and practical leadership.
Following the lecture, training transitioned to the field as the MP Boys and WATC Girls Model Platoons continued their preparations for the upcoming 16th Military Parade this September 2026. Under strict supervision, the cadets honed their formations, drill commands, movement patterns, and overall military bearing, reinforcing both physical readiness and team cohesion.
Throughout the day, the cadets displayed strong dedication and active participation. The training day serves as a crucial milestone in the NROTC program, continually preparing these cadets and cadettes to become disciplined, capable, and responsible future citizen-soldiers.
