Limet ARM (GSC) PA held flag-raising ceremony in commemoration of the 8th Anniversary of Marawi Liberation on October 20, 2025 at Headquarters, AFPPKOC, Camp O’Donnell, Capas, Tarlac.

With the theme, “Marawi 8: Sa Tapang, Sa Pagbangon, Sa Kapayapaan,” commemorating the successful take-over of the Marawi City from the hands of terrorists. Moreover, it is a tribute to the heroism, resilience, patriotism, and unity of the Filipino people.

During the event, Col Limet delivered the message of the AFP Chief of Staff Gen. Romeo S. Brawner Jr. PA, who reflected on a defining chapter in Philippine history—the Marawi siege. He emphasized that it was not just a battle waged on the streets, but a profound test of courage, unity, and patriotism for those who valiantly fought for freedom and peace.

In his message, he emphasized, “We honor the valor and sacrifice of our soldiers, police, and reservists, heroes who laid down their lives so that future generations may live freely. Their courage changed the course of history, and their sacrifice paved the path from destruction to renewal.”

He added, “The people of Marawi chose peace over anger, unity over division, and hope over despair. The government, on the other hand, committed itself to providing security, humanitarian aid, and sustainable development programs. Agencies worked tirelessly with the Armed Forces to restore order, rebuild infrastructure, and ensure that peace takes root. This partnership between the people and the government is the foundation of lasting peace.”

As we reflect on the Marawi Siege and its enduring lessons, the AFP Peacekeeping Operations Center reaffirms its pivotal role in advancing both national peace and international cooperation through peacekeeping operations aligned with United Nations principles.
