17. CADETS’ PHILOSOPHY Obey first before you complain. The fault of one is the fault of all. My “buddy” is my body. If it is not for the good of all, I will not sacrifice myself. I must be stable even under pressure.

18. 5 POINTS OF MILITARY DISCIPLINE Stand and deliver. Don’t quit. Perfect practice makes perfect. Respect is not given but earned. Attitude is a small thing but it makes a difference. He, who lives without discipline, dies without dignity.

22. LOYALTY PLEDGE If you work for a man in heaven’s name, work for him, speak well of him and stand by the institution he represents. Remember, an ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness. If you must growl or externally find fault, resign your position and when you are on the outside, damn to your heart’s content. But as long as you are part of this institution, do not condemn it. If you do, the first high wind that comes along will blow you away and probably you will never know why.

37. LEADERSHIP " Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it ”. Dwight D. Eisenhower 1. Leadership is the process of directing the behavior of others toward the accomplishment of some common objectives. 2. Leadership is influencing people to get things done to a standard and quality above their norm. And doing it willingly."

38. FACTORS OF LEADERSHIP  Different people require different styles of leadership.  A person who lacks motivation requires a different approach than one with a high degree of motivation.  You must know your people!  The fundamental starting point is having a good understanding of human nature, such as needs, emotions, and motivation.  You must come to know your employees' be, know, and do attributes.  Must have an honest understanding of who you are, what you know, and what you can do.  It is the followers, not the leader or someone else who determines if the leader is successful.  To be successful you have to convince your followers, not yourself or your superiors, that you are worthy of being followed.  You lead through two-way communication.  Much of it is nonverbal.  What and how you communicate either builds or harms the relationship between you and your employees.  All situations are different. What you do in one situation will not always work in another.  You must use your judgment to decide the best course of action and the leadership style needed for each situation.  The situation normally has a greater effect on a leader's action than his or her traits

43. DRILL TERMS To help understand the meaning of drill terms Definition of terms: Alignment – is a straight line upon which several elements or teams are formed or the dressing of several elements upon a straight line. A unit is aligned when it is dressed. Base - is the element on which a movement is regulated. For instance, in executing right front into the leading squad is the base. Cadence - is the uniform rhythm by which a movement is executed or the number of steps or counts per minute of which a movement is executed. Drill movements are normally executed at the cadence of quick time or double time.

44. Center - is the middle point or element of a command. In a platoon of three (3) squads in the line, the second squad from the right is the center. With four Drills 3 (4) squads in the platoon the second squad from the right is the center squad (platoon). Column - is a formation in which the elements are placed one behind another. Depth - is the space from front to rear of any formation or a position including the front and rear elements. The depth of a man is assumed to be 12 inches. Distance - is the space between elements when the elements are on behind the other. Between units, it varies with the size of the formation; between individuals, it is an arm’s length to the front plus six (6) inches or about forty (40) inches, measured to be twelve {12} inches. Double Time - Cadence at a rate of 180 steps per minute .

45. Echelon - One of a series of elements formed one behind another. Also a modification of line formation in which adjacent elements are disposed one in rear of the other. Element - An individual, squad, platoon, company or larger body, forming part of a larger body. File - Two men, the front-rank man and the corresponding man of the rear rank. The front-rank man is the file leader. A file which has no rear –rank man is “blank file”. The term file applies to a single man in a single rank formation. It is also a single column of men one behind the other. Flank - The right or left extremity of a unit, either in line or column. The element on the extreme right or left of the line. A direction at a right angle to the direction, on an element or a formation is facing. Formation - Arrangement of the elements of a unit in line, in column or any other prescribed manner. Front - The direction in which a command faces.

46. Frontage - The space occupied by an element measured from one flank to the opposite flank. The frontage of a man is assumed to be twenty-two (22) inches, measured from the right to the left elbow and therefore does not include twelve (12) inches between all men in line. The frontage of a squad however includes the intervals between men. Guide - The man whom the command or element thereof regulates its march. This is often the case in battle or on practice marches. In a squad drill, a policeman (number one (1) front rank) is often the guide. Head - The leading element of a column. To understand this definition one must remember that an element is a file, squad, platoon, company or larger body forming part of a still another larger body. Interval - The lateral space between elements on the same line. An interval is measured betweenindividuals from shoulder to shoulder; and between formations, this is done from flank to flank. Unit commanders and those with them are not considered in measuring interval between elements of the unit with which it is posted. Considered interval between individuals is one (1) arm’s length. Close interval is the horizontal distance between shoulder and elbow when the left hand is placed on the left hip.

47. Left - The left extremity or element of a body. Line - A formation in which the different elements are “abreast of each other” means on the same line. The other vital part of this definition centers on the word “element”. A section may be an element, therefore if the leading elements of several sections are on the same line, it becomes a line formation. Loose Pieces - Rifles and automatic rifles not used in making stacks. Oblique - An angle between zero (0) degree and forty-five (45) degrees. Right /Left Oblique, March is forty-five (45) degrees. Pace - Thirty (30) inches, the length of the full step in quick time. The pace at double time is thirty-six (36) inches. Piece - The term “piece” as used in this text means the rifle or automatic rifle. Point of the Rest - The point at which a formation begins; specifically, the points toward which units are aligned in successive movements. For example, in executing “On right into line,the point of rest is the place where the leading squad halts. Quick Time - Cadence at a rate of one hundred twenty (120) steps per minute. Rank:A line of men placed side by side. There are two ranks: the front and rear rank. Right - The right extremity or element of a body of troops. Slow Time: Cadence at sixty (60) steps per minute. Step : The distance measured from heel to heel between the feet of a man walking. A step may be any prescribed number of inches .

48. COMMANDS AND THE COMMAND VOICE COMMANDS a . A drill command is an oral order of a leader. The precise movement is affected by the manner in which the command is given. b . The following rules shall govern for a commander in giving a command to participating troops: 1 ) When at halt, the commander faces the troops when giving a command. In a command that set the unit in motion (marching from one point to another), the commander shall move simultaneously with the unit to maintain proper position within the formation. 2) When marching, the commander turn his head in the direction of the troops upon giving a command. 3) Exceptions to these rules occur during ceremonies. c . The commander gives command MANUMBALIK (AS YOU WERE) to revoke a preparatory command that he has given. The command MANUMBALIK must be given prior to the command of execution. The commander cannot cancel the command of execution with MANUMBALIK. If an improper command is not revoked, the personnel execute the movement in the best manner possible.

49. TWO-PART COMMANDS a . Most drill commands have two parts, the preparatory command and the command of execution. Neither is a command itself, but the parts are termed command to simplify instruction. The command HANDA (READY), SIPAT (AIM), PUTOK (FIRE) are considered to be two-part commands even though they contain two pre-commands. 1) The preparatory command states the movement to be carried out and mentally prepares the troop for its execution. In the command PASULONG, KAD, the preparatory command is PASULONG. 2) The command of execution tells when the movement is to be carried out. In PASULONG, KAD, the command of execution is KAD. b . To change direction of a unit when marching, the preparatory command and command of execution for each movementare given so they begin and end on the foot in the direction of the turn: KANANG PANIG, NA (RIGHT FLANK) is given Drills 8 as the right foot strikes the marching surface and KALIWANG PANIG, (LEFT FLANK) as the left foot strikes the marching surface. The interval between the preparatory command and the command of execution is normally one step or count.

50. ENGLISH VERSION TO FILIPINO VERSION a . The PNP commands were derived from the AFP English version and subsequently translated to Filipino version.This attempt to localize the English version has brought about varied interpretations as to the preciseness of the “term” being used. In the command of execution for example, the words RAP, NA, KAD, TA and others are sometimes misused/interchanged as the commander may opt to what he thinks is appropriate. b. To provide for uniformity, simplicityand preciseness and to suit the Filipino commands in terms of voice control, distinctiveness, inflections and cadence

51. The following guidelines are set forth as a rule: 1 ) In general, the word NA is used to signal the command of execution except the following: a ) TA – (Abbreviated SANDATA) manual of arms for rifles and pistol, except for KALIS and TALIBONG which fall under the general rule. b) KAD – (Abbreviated LAKAD) from at rest to motion. Example: PASULONG, KAD. For other commands given while in motion , the general rule will apply. Example: LIKO SA KANAN, NA. c) TO – (Abbreviated HINTO) from motion to rest. d) RAP – (Abbreviated HARAP) in HANDA HARAP as literal translation of READY FRONT . e) DA – (Abbreviated HUMANDA) for attention. f) NGA – ( Abbreviated PAHINGA) in “TIKAS PAHINGA”or PARADE REST

52. COMBINED COMMANDS In some commands, the preparatory command and the command of execution are combined; for example, HUMANAY (FALL IN), PALUWAG (AT EASE ), LUMANSAG ( DISMISS) These commands are given without inflection
