2. Give 2 military traditions you believe to be a need in this present time and why you say so?
•These two military traditions are the tradition of loyalty and tradition of solidarity. Tradition of
Loyalty because of some unprofessional acts of Filipino soldiers committing act of disloyalty.
Some Filipino soldiers have betrayed one’s faith, duty and commitment to God’s country, people
Constitutional government and many more. This act of disloyalty must stop in order for our
Soldiers to execute and perform at the best of their ability no matter how difficult the mission or
Task. Next is the tradition of solidarity, it is because unity is the strongest, most enduring, and
Powerful military tradition. Without unity, there is no integrity, freedom and no patriotism as
Well. Unity is one of the keys for a progressive and success to the country. These military
Traditions provides a sense of continuity between the generations, upholds morale, and
