FORT BONIFACIO, Taguig City — Philippine Army Signaleers wrapped up a four-day symposium on October 23, 2026, centered on using integrated capabilities to dominate the information domain, the Army's Public Affairs Office said on October 26.
"Communications and information systems must not only connect the Army, they must sharpen its ability to understand, decide, and act," Army Chief Lt. Gen. Donald M. Gumiran said in his command guidance for the Signal Family Symposium.
The event at the Ricarte Hall, Philippine Army Officers' Clubhouse, ran under the theme "Strengthening C4S Integration: Building a Resilient, Secure, and Interoperable Signal Community for Information Dominance."
Participants took up equipment accountability, the practical cascading of Department of National Defense compliance circulars, and the rollout of the Philippine Army Cyber Evaluation System. The release said the gathering also strengthened collaboration and interoperability among the Army's Signal units, addressed emerging C4S challenges and operational gaps, and set common priorities for capability development.
At the closing ceremony, Army Vice Commander Maj. Gen. Efren F. Morados spoke on behalf of Gumiran and received a token from Signal Regiment Commander Brig. Gen. Jamel P. Samonte and Col. Frederick T. Rebong, the Army's Assistant Chief of Staff for C4S.
