During the Rosita program, the Soldiers could interact and communicate with the residents. The Soldiers, despite their own financial constraints, used their own pocket money to buy and use the products for daily food. This personal sacrifice of the Soldiers to help the residents' economy is a testament to their commitment. The sellers were happy because the Soldiers bought their products. Mrs. Maria Japugau, one of the sellers, was delighted with her revenue that morning and said, "Thank you, Commander 509. God bless."

Upon receiving the program report, the HABEMA Commanding General, Brigadier General Lucky Avianto, expressed his pride, saying, "The initiative of the 509 Task Forces to buy up the farming products belonging to residents from Kumlagupa Village is a shining example of the TNI's effort to help the people's economy to support the acceleration of development in the Papua region."
