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.

DISCIPLINE CONDUCT

A soldier is a model of self-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.

PROFESSIONALISM
Professionalism in the military career stands 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.
 STANDARDS OFSTANDARDS OF CONDUCT

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.
 STANDARDS OF
CONDUCT
DIFFERENCE 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.
 APPLICATION
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.
 APPLICATION
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.
