‎The Goldenstate College ROTC Unit successfully conducted its 1st Battalion Formation for the First Semester of Academic Year 2026–2027 at the Goldenstate College Lagao Campus. The activity was directed by Ssg Jem Boy A Estrada (SC) PA, Chief Clerk, PBGEN Willie M. Dangane Sr. MNSA, E.D., Phd (RET), and together with ,the Graduate Military Assistance, under the guidance and supervision of MAJ Cyrus Luigi L. Del Muro (INF), PA, Commandant and Director of 1203 Community Defense Center (CDC).

The first formation marks the official beginning of the training period for the ROTC Cadets. It serves as the foundation for instilling discipline, order, unity, and proper military bearing among the trainees. The assembly of cadets at the designated parade ground. Despite the early hour and the heat of the sun, all cadets arrived on time and were properly attired in their prescribed uniform: white t-shirt, maong pants, black shoes, and white socks, observing proper grooming and hygiene.

Formation was not merely about standing in line, it was the start of transforming ordinary students into disciplined individuals. The experience taught us the value of punctuality, respect for authority, and working as one unit. There was a noticeable shift in our mindset—from being casual to becoming more alert and organized. We realized that every action has a purpose, and every instruction must be followed precisely.

‎The first formation of the ROTC cadets was a successful and meaningful activity. It laid down the groundwork for the upcoming training sessions and successfully unified the group under common goals and standards. The discipline and spirit shown during this day assure that the corps is ready to face the challenges ahead. We look forward to developing further our skills in leadership, citizenship, and military proficiency in the days to come.
