Employees of the Philippine Army take pride in their service and duty to protect the country and serve the people. They appreciate the benefits provided, such as good salaries, free lunch, and billeting, as well as the strong camaraderie formed with colleagues. Some employees also enjoy the adventure and opportunity to travel to different parts of the Philippines as part of their work.
However, there are potential challenges, such as the significant amount of paperwork involved, the remoteness of areas and rugged terrain making resupply and evacuation difficult in certain roles, and the difficulty in achieving a good work-life balance due to the nature of the work. Additionally, a few reviewers noted instances of inequality and unprofessionalism among colleagues, as well as concerns about the contractual nature of employment, with low chances of regularisation and unequal benefits.
