          CAMP LUKBAN, Catbalogan 
          City – The 8th Infantry (Stormtroopers) Division successfully 
          conducted a board meeting and team building activity with Multi-Sector 
          Advisory Board to strengthen the fulfillment of the Army 
          Transformation Roadmap by 2028 at Cuatro Islas, Inopacan, Leyte on 15 
          to 16 April 2016.
          The 8ID MSAB aims to promote 
          good governance, organizational and operational excellence, resource 
          generation, public relation and to develop policies and procedure, for 
          the successful implementation of the ATR on its objective to become a 
          world class Army that is a source of national Pride by 2028.
          Col. Jose H Narciso GSC 
          (INF) PA, Chief, Governance Strategy Management Office together with 
          Ms. Caidic presented to the board the Plans and Programs of the 
          Command on peace and development efforts in order to be more capable, 
          responsive, reliable and professional to its mandate of serving the 
          people of Eastern Visayas.
          Pastor Victor M. De Paz, 
          said that the MSAB and the Army must impart ideology during the series 
          of lecture to the youth sector that includes character reformation, to 
          become a better citizen of our country.
          On the other hand, Vivian 
          Poblete urged the support of MSAB through linkages and partnership 
          with key sectors in providing them Subject-Matter-Expert (SMEs) in the 
          on-going community based skills and development training for out of 
          school youth and local populace in Las Navas and other Municipalities 
          in Northern Samar.
          However, Miss Caidic 
          persuaded the member to documents all best practices of the soldiers 
          in “Oplan Bayanihan” in order to generate more support, linkages and 
          partnership both from external and internal audiences to sustain the 
          ATR vision.
          The ATR is a shared 
          responsibility and achievable through MSAB collaboration so we can 
          generate more inputs for us to be more effective servant soldier in 
          Eastern Visayas, Major General Velarmino said.
