โTayo po ay nakiisa sa pagdiriwang ng Ika-50 Anibersaryo ng Armor (Pambato) Division sa Camp O'Donnell, Capas, Tarlac bilang pagpupugay sa limang dekada ng katapangan, dedikasyon, at tapat na paglilingkod ng ating mga sundalo sa sambayanang Pilipino kasama sina LtGen Antonio G. Nafarrete PA, MGen Ronel R. Manalo PA, BGen Lauro G. Oliveros PA, at MAJ Mel Andrey Alcala PA. Mabuhay ang Pambato Division! Mabuhay ang Hukbong Katihan ng Pilipinas! Mabuhay ang Tarlac,โ Gov.
