achieve his mission. He should have full
knowledge of his job, has proficiency in
training and in combat, in peacekeeping
and in the implementation of national
policies for development.

20. STANDARDS OF CONDUCT
PRIDE IN UNIFORM
The military uniform reflects not only the
personality of the individual soldier but also
that of the whole organization. It is the
responsibility of the soldier to take extra
care and use of his uniform and all insignias
he carries on them, for it is in this simple
ritual that the soldier is set apart from the
rest.

21. STANDARDS OF CONDUCT
DISCIPLINE

Discipline is equally vital to preservation of
life as much as to the success of military
operations and demands unconditional
compliance as its foremost aspect. It can
preserve your life thus it is enforced by
those in authority and must be followed
without reservation.

for commitment, knowledge and skills and
is better expressed in one’s attention to
duty with the required discipline and
competence. It gives rise to impartiality,
objectivity and non-partisanship that are
necessary to support common goals for
the welfare of the population.

23. STANDARDS OF CONDUCT
ADHERENCE TO LAW
All soldiers are both citizens and military
personnel, hence are subject to the same
law and shall uphold the same as part of
their duty of service to the country. In case
of conflict, the higher military standard of
conduct required under the same set of
circumstances in either system, is always
paramount.

24. STANDARDS OF CONDUCT
DEFERENCE TO AUTHORITY
Authority within the military is evident in the
Chain of Command, starting with the Non-
Commissioned Officer in the most vital role
as implementer and the succession of
Commanding Officer before him through
which the commands are progressively
issued and implemented. Deference to
civil authority is likewise required as a
function of soldier’s responsibility.

25. APPLICATION
The primary responsibility regarding
ingraining and strengthening the values
and standards of conduct is vested in
the military leadership. Officers and
NCOs in command and control positions
should commit these values to memory
and be in a position to clarify the same
when inquired.

26. APPLICATION
The soldier is well aware of the methods for
the world and constantly utilizes his
knowledge of human nature when
confronted with circumstances not
particularly met in his training courses. Values
are taught by perception and practice over
time. Thus, it is normal that steady survey of
one's self in the dynamism of daily life will
guide the right application of the prior
qualities and standards of conduct in military
life, for this code to endure and be relevant
for the decades ahead.
