In his message, he emphasized the values of MDG—Malasakit, Disiplina, at Galing—as essential principles in shaping competent, disciplined, and service-oriented cadets. The activity assessed key areas such as organizational structure, records management, training execution, leadership, and discipline, while also measuring the readiness of student-cadets to serve as part of the reserve force.
Anchored on the core values of Discipline, Courage, Unity, and Service, the ISU Roxas and MPCI ROTC Units demonstrated a unified commitment to producing capable, responsible, and service-driven cadets who are prepared to contribute to national defense. The University and partner institution also reaffirmed their strong support for the ROTC program, recognizing its vital role in developing future reservists and leaders.
As part of the inspection process, cadets underwent a series of assessments including the Drill Test, Theoretical Test, and Field Test, which evaluated their knowledge, discipline, and tactical skills.
