Veteran actress Lorna Tolentino has officially joined the Philippine Navy Reserve Command after completing the Basic Citizen Military Course (BCMC). She marks the milestone with posts and photos from her graduation ceremony, held in Taguig, on Friday, Aug. 7.
In coverage from Inquirer and PhilSTAR, Tolentino is described as joining the same reserve unit her late husband, actor Rudy Fernandez, previously belonged to. Inquirer reports that her son, Rap Fernandez, was present during the ceremony. In her caption, Tolentino highlights discipline as “choosing to finish, even when it’s hard,” and credits her late husband in relation to her reserve service.
While both outlets agree on the overall timeline and her new status as a Navy reservist, they differ mainly in emphasis: PhilSTAR focuses on her joining the reserve command in connection with her late husband, while Inquirer provides more detail on the BCMC completion, the ceremony location, and the presence of her son.
