To celebrate its annual Christmas Sportsfest, the troops of the 4th Infantry (Diamond) Division (4ID) conducted a foot march at Camp Evangelista, Patag, Cagayan de Oro City, on December 5, 2024.
The foot march, which began early in the morning, involved officers, enlisted personnel, and Civilian Human Resources of the 4ID marching together, showcasing teamwork, camaraderie, and physical endurance. This event was designed to promote unity and fitness, creating a festive atmosphere as the troops prepared for the holiday season.
In addition to the foot march, the celebration featured a raffle draw at the Montalvan Hall in the 4ID Gymnasium, offering exciting prizes and adding a fun element to the day’s activities.
Major General Jose Maria R. Cuerpo II, Commander of the 4th Infantry (Diamond) Division, expressed pride in the event and stressed the importance of such activities in strengthening the soldiers’ unity and morale.
