La Salle University ROTC Unit

The auspicious day of August 25, 2024, (Yesterday) marks a well-praised day as we witness the Bloodletting Program held at the LSU-IS Covered Court, led by the MHARS-MC Team and with the assistance and provision of the LSU ROTC UNIT led by: SSG Elmar A Jumarito (MI) PA - Chief Clerk, Noel C Alamin - ROTC Coordinator, CPT Apollo Dolloso (RES) PA - Assistant Commandant, CDT LTC Samantha Marie R Compo - Battalion Commander. Despite challenges and obstacles during the program, the medical team has successfully removed bags of blood from the LSU ROTC UNIT participants. The program consisted of basic drill training for the cadets, a flag ceremony, some playful activities, and the bloodletting program. The participants were examined whether they were suitable for blood removal before the procedure. The 1CL and 2CL officers and the abled cadets from the LSU ROTC have courageously cooperated and contributed to the program which has been a fruitful and successful program.

Our officers and cadets deserve praise for the bravery and cooperation they showcased yesterday.

Yesterday, August 23, 2024, the Civil-Military Operation Competency Enhancement Training Team (CMOCET) held the "Youth Resiliency Program on Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism" in Aguada, Ozamiz City, Misamis Occidental from 1:00 to 4:00 PM, where the LSU ROTC UNIT was invited and also participated. As the name suggests, the main goal of the program was to help the youth become more resilient by teaching them about the risks associated with violent extremism and giving them the knowledge and skills to oppose and counter these extremist ideologies.

The session commenced with a prayer followed by TSg Rey Gontiñas' (Inf) PA's introduction of the CMOCET team. 2LT Rex Occiano (Inf) PA delivered a message to the attendees. PFC Thirdy Endino (Inf) PA held a presentation and information drive to address the warning indicators of radicalization and practical preventative measures. Testimonies from Former Rebels (FRs), who discussed their experiences with radicalization and their journeys towards reintegration into society, were also featured at the event. Subsequently, the CMOCET team and Sgt James Putty (Inf) PA conducted an interactive session with the attendees to impart crucial insights. Sgt. Mark Jan Agad (Inf) PA gave final remarks to wrap up the program.
