Moments of Bayanihan | Green Army


- Green Army - 

 Our brave soldiers aren't just known as jungle fighters known to protect and secure our land. A soft side of them does reflect when they also show their value in the importance of giving full respect to nature and promoting social responsibility. In a moment, they can bear not holding a gun, as long as his hands are filled by actions of peace.
When I took this photo early in the morning, their objective was to transport and plant these seedlings to a deforested mountain that was devoured by fire years back. I have not realized that our soldiers happily do their job of helping a community for forest rehabilitation. They seem as small jobs for the task of what they were trained to do. By which I can say that, "Good soldiers are trained to become the best in their craft of soldiery but great ones extend their capacity to do more good things." A soldier is known to be one of the most versatile people on earth, they happily nod to help even doing the simplest of things - like tree planting.

 These men are always there to respond for whatever Bayanihan program the government intends to do. For what is worth, I also call them as the 'Green Army'.

 But despite all of this, we should put into ourselves that social responsibility is everyone's responsibility. Like what a  good soldier said, "Let every man be his own master, but let him first and above all be his own charge. It is our own destiny to transform this nation, we begin by transforming ourselves first - Late 2LT Jose Delfin E. Khe, PA".
