SENATOR Francis Tolentino gave assurances that there will be a Philippine Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) Games next year.

The senator made the vow during the Mayor’s Night of the games’ Luzon Leg in Cavite, where he said that the games made history.

Tolentino underscored the historical significance of the games reflected by the venues of the events.

“Ito na siguro ang isa sa pinakamahahalagang event na nadaluhan ko lalo na ngayong gabing ito, narito tayo sa lugar kung saan nagsimula ang unang Republika ng Asya, ang Cavite,” Tolentino said.

He also cited the games’ Mindanao Leg opening held in Pershing Plaza in Zamboanga which was named after the father of ROTC program worldwide, General John Pershing.

Tolentino also proudly shared how the inaugural ROTC Games is historical in itself.

“This is very special because we will never be able, in our lifetime, to repeat the first ROTC Games. We will only be able to reminisce,” he said.

“This will be repeated next year and we hope to have a better, upscaled ROTC Games,” he said.
