GREETINGS
IT IS MONDAY ONCE AGAIN AND IT IS BUT FITTING TO BOOST OUR
MORALE IN THIS FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK FOR ANOTHER PAGE OF OUR
ENDEAVOR FOR A GENUINE TRANSFORMATION. WE ALWAYS BELIEVE
THAT IF WE COMMENCE THE DAY WITH ENERGY, THEN WE SUSTAIN
OUR STRENGTH UP TO ITS CONCLUSION. ALL THAT STARTS WELL,
ENDS WELL, SO TO SPEAK.
ONE WAY TO MAINTAIN AND STRENGTHEN ONES VIGOR AND
INTEREST

IS

TO

RECOGNIZE

HIS

ACCOMPLISHMENT.

IN

SOME

RESPECTS, RECOGNITION HAS BECOME AN INTEGRAL PART OF ONES

WORK. THIS HAS ALSO BECOME A REMINDER THAT PEOPLE ARE
INDEED WATCHING WHILE ONE PERFORMS HIS TASKS.
TODAY WE HAVE WITNESSED OUR COMRADES AWARDED WITH
MEDALS FOR THEIR LAUDABLE ACCOMPLISHMENTS. IT MUST BE NOTED
THAT WE DO THIS AWARDING CEREMONY EVERY MONDAY TO GIVE
RECOGNITION ON THE EFFICIENCY AND BRAVERY OF OUR BROTHERS
IN UNIFORM IN PERFORMING THEIR TASK AS PUBLIC SERVANTS.
OUR COMRADES TREAD EVEN THE MOST DANGEROUS WAYS IN
PERFORMANCE OF OUR MANDATE. SADLY, SOME WERE BRUTALLY
SLAIN BY THE ENEMIES OF THE LAW. INDEED, WE ARE ALWAYS
CONFRONTED WITH OBSTACLES UP TO THE EXTENT THAT WE RISK
OUR OWN LIVES TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THE COMMUNITY. YET,
THESE HINDRANCES NEVER MAR OUR DESIRE TO SERVE AND PROTECT
OUR LAND. OUR AWARDEES TODAY DID NOT ONLY DESIRE FOR
ACHIEVEMENT. AS WE HAVE HEARD FROM THE CITATION, THEY HAVE
WORKED HARD AND RISKED THEMSELVES TO ENSURE THAT PUBLIC
SAFETY IS MAINTAINED AND THAT OUR ORGANIZATION CONTINUES TO
SHINE ITS RADIANCE. IT IS BUT FITTING THEN THAT WE HAVE

AWARDED THEM MEDALS FOR THEIR COMMENDABLE CONTRIBUTION

NOT ONLY TO PRO2 BUT TO THE ENTIRE PNP ORGANIZATION.
ASIDE FROM OUR OPERATIONAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS, WE HAVE
ALSO BEEN VERY RESPONSIVE ON THE ADMINISTRATIVE EFFORTS OF
OUR ORGANIZATION. OUR ENDEAVOR TO BUILD A STRONGER AND A
MORE HARMONIOUS RELATIONSHIP WITH THE COMMUNITY WILL
SURELY BEAR GOOD FRUITS. LET US INVOLVE THE PEOPLE IN OUR
PEACE AND ORDER ACTIVITIES AND WE WILL SURELY WIN THEIR
HEARTS.

CONSEQUENTLY,

THEY

WILL

COOPERATE

IN

ALL

OUR

PROJECTS AND CONTRIBUTE TO OUR MISSION IN MAKING THE

COMMUNITY A SAFER PLACE TO LIVE IN.
WE ARE NOT INDIFFERENT TO THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF OUR
PERSONNEL. THE AWARDING CEREMONY THAT WE ARE HAVING NOW IS
A PROOF THAT WE ARE RESPONSIVE TO INVALUABLE EFFORTS OF
EVERYONE. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. I DO NOT MEAN THOUGH THAT
YOU SHOULD ONLY WORK FOR THE RECOGNITION THAT YOU WILL
RECEIVE. REMEMBER THAT WE ARE MANDATED TO ENSURE SECURITY
OF THE PEOPLE. RECOGNIZED OR NOT, IT IS OUR ROLE TO RENDER
GENUINE SERVICE.
WHAT ANY OTHER BETTER WAY TO COMMENCE THE WEEK THAN
TO WITNESS THESE MEN BEFORE US IN THIS CEREMONY? WHAT ELSE
CAN WE SAY AFTER LEARNING THAT THE ENERGY OF PNP PRO2 IN
MAINTAINING PEACE AND ORDER NEVER WANES?
I URGE EVERYONE TO CONTINUALLY DO HIS PART AS WE TREAD
THE ROAD OF TRANSFORMATION TOWARDS DEVELOPMENT AND
EFFICIENCY. AT THE END OF THE DAY, EVERYONE OF US DREAMS FOR
A SINGLE THING, THAT IS, A BETTER AND SAFER COMMUNITY.
CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR AWARDEES
THANK YOU.
