LOOK | 99.94%: MSU-MCSE ROTC Unit Makes History in First-Ever RAATI

The Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) Unit of Mindanao State University–Main Campus Sindangan Extension (MSU-MCSE) marked a historic milestone after participating for the first time in the ROTC Annual Administrative and Tactical Inspection (RAATI) on June 5, 2026, at the Misok Campus in Misok, Sindangan, Zamboanga del Norte. The unit earned an outstanding overall rating of 99.94%, scoring 999.4 out of 1,000 points.

The inspection was led by Chairman Inspector Col Ian Noel P Ignes, ADC RRA, 1ID, PA, together with a team of 12 evaluators who assessed the unit's administrative systems, training management, and tactical capabilities.

In his opening remarks, Campus Director Dr. Florencio D. Recoleto Jr. emphasized that the MSU-MCSE ROTC Unit now stands independently and is no longer affiliated with other schools or entities. He congratulated the officers, personnel, and cadets for reaching the milestone, recognizing the collective effort that made the unit's inaugural RAATI participation possible.

Col Ignes explained that the RAATI serves to evaluate the overall performance, preparedness, and tactical efficiency of ROTC units, with unity among its key indicators. He acknowledged the dedication and guidance of the officials who mentored the unit throughout its preparations and encouraged the cadets to uphold excellence, make meaningful contributions, and consider future service to the nation.

The activity was conducted under the leadership of Col Mandy T Libertino (Arty) Inf PA, MSU-MCSE ROTC Unit Commandant, and 1Lt Rogarciano C Guinggue III PA(Res), University Head Marshall.
With a near-perfect score in its first-ever RAATI appearance, the MSU-MCSE ROTC Unit not only met the standards of inspection but established a remarkable benchmark — reflecting the discipline, commitment, and collective dedication of everyone involved.
