Sa araw na ito, hindi lang natin pinararangalan ang ating mga pambansang bayani—kinikilala rin natin ang bawat Pilipino na patuloy na lumalaban sa sariling paraan para sa bayan.

Mula sa mga nagbuwis ng buhay noon, hanggang sa mga mamamayang araw-araw na nagsusumikap, nagsasakripisyo, at tumitindig sa tama—lahat sila ay may bahagi sa tunay na diwa ng kagitingan.

Ang pagiging bayani ay hindi nasusukat sa laki ng ginawa, kundi sa tapang na piliing gawin ang tama, kahit mahirap.

Bilang kabataang Pilipino at bahagi ng CAT, tahimik naming pinapahalagahan at ipinagpapatuloy ang diwang ito—ang magsilbi nang may dangal, malasakit, at pagmamahal sa Inang Bayan.

LOOK || IN-HOUSE PLANNING

In active preparation for our upcoming In-house training , the COCC Platoon Leader has officially introduced the comprehensive In-House Training Plan. This strategic blueprint was carefully developed to ensure that every cadet experiences a structured, safe, and highly disciplined environment. By laying out these guidelines early, the Platoon Leader ensures a disciplined Platoon wherein they follow the specific outlined schedules to ensure all members of their companies were aligned to their specific roles.

Under the expert mentorship of CAT Commandant John Paul Dingal and Assistant Commandant Michelle Ongat, the original plan was carefully revised and enhanced to better serve the needs of the company.
