ISA nang certified second lieutenant of the Philippine Army si Matteo Guidicelli matapos pirmahan ni President Rodrigo Duterte ang mga papeles which allowed him to jump from his earlier rank bilang probationary second lieutenant.
Present si Sarah Geronimo, GF ni Matteo, sa “donning of the ranks” ceremony na ginanap sa Philippine Army headquarters sa Taguig. Usually ay family member ang kasama ng isang military sa ganitong okasyon. Comment ng netizens, asawang-asawa na ang peg ni Sarah!
Nag-join si Matteo bilang reservist of the Philippine Army noong April at sumailalim siya sa extensive and exhaustive 30-day scout ranger training sa Camp Tecson.
Nang mag-graduate siya noong June, present din si Sarah nang bigyan ng parangal si Matteto ng highest grade na 95.20%.
Binigyan ng military commendation medal si Matteo dahil na rin sa kanyang inisyatibo para sa clean up activities sa mga schools sa San Miguel, sa pamimigay niya ng school supplies at bilang isang malaking inspiration ng mga kabataan.
Marami ang natuwa sa bagong achievement ni Matteo.
“That’s a real man faithful may narating sa buhay. Proud parents and lucky Sarah.”
“To be commissioned as an officer in the military, one must have a bachelor degree, plus going to an officer candidate school and military training. Mateo most probably met all those criteria.”
Pero may isang nagmaasim na netizen and said, “Unfair to those who choose to have a military career, not easy to be a commissioned officer. Parang ang dali lang sa mga celebrity.”
