The celebration of National Reservist Week is rooted in Proclamation No. 1892 (1979), which declared September 1 of every year as "Araw ng Laang-Kawal Pilipino" (Reservist Day) to recognize the invaluable role of military reservists in nation-building.
Later, Proclamation No. 627 (1995) expanded the observance by declaring the period from September 3 to 10 as "Linggo ng Laang-Kawal Pilipino" (National Reservist Week) to promote greater public awareness and appreciation of the AFP Reserve Force and its vital contribution to national defense, disaster response, and community service.
This coming September, let us celebrate our AFP Reservists—ordinary citizens with an extraordinary commitment to serve the nation.
As we commemorate the 47th National Reservist Week, we honor the dedication, patriotism, and readiness of every reservist who stands prepared to answer the call of duty in times of peace, crisis, and national emergencies.
Salute to our Citizen-Soldiers!
