Let's look at more of the Philippines' 155 mm caliber M-71 Howitzers, these ones by the 4th Marine Brigade of the Philippine Marine Corps (PMC) when they conducted at Live-Fire Exercise in Ilocos Norte recently. The Event was attended by the Vice Governor of that Province, Cecilia Araneta Marcos.

I think that these M-71s of the PMC look a little more Bad A** with their Digital Camouflage than those of the Philippine Army (PA), just my Opinion.

Today's thoughts: Do not force things to happen. Do not make something that is against your heart. You can't be efficient in all things. So, smile and let it go. #spendtimewisely #travelgoals #travelph #ilocosnorte #banguiwindmills #travelmemoir #sea #luzon #thoughts #stressmanagement #whenmakingareport (at Bangui Bay Windmill, Ilocos Norte) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmKtklty9vq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Some notes from the attachment: People may betray us and pushes us to lose the confidence that we carry or build for a long time; those are the instrument that triumph would be on our side as we utilized our faith with an act of diligence. It won't be easy but it will be rewarding if we don't give up.
