For gamers across the world, including the Philippines, the last quarter of 2011 marked the launch of the most anticipated video game of all time in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 (MW3). Call of Duty the video game represents the next level of interactive and intuitive gaming experience. As in real life combat, the values of honor, discipline, training, sacrifice, courage, and teamsmanship all play essential roles to achieving victory.But not to be lost in the excitement of the game is the subliminal essence of call of duty to oneself. And that is to be able to develop one's potential to the fullest in order to advance. Philosophically,every living thing must continue to seek for enlargement and enhancement of life since the very act of living in itself connotes the need for increase in some way, shape, or form. For example, the number of cells increase in the body as we grow. With the arrival of Call of Duty MW3, achievement of victory can be achieved in the virtual arena as the game is enjoyed. And by extension, call of duty to excel in real life in the Philippines or anywhere else can also be realized especially when the basic ingredients to success - of inner self strength, great ideas, and careful planning and execution along with faith, family, and friends - come into play.
