Clifford Cyril Y. Riveral, the Division Inspector General, led the 8ID soldiers in reciting the Pledge of Peace as a reminder of the Division’s advocacy in “Winning the Peace”.

With the enhanced commitment of our partners in LGUs, NGOs, other stakeholders and above all, the continuous support of the local people, achieving this goal will never be impossible”, he added.
