GREETINGS
AT THE OUTSET ALLOW ME CONGRATULATE OUR AWARDEES
FOR A JOB WELL DONE.
IT FEELS GREAT TO LEAD PEOPLE WHO INCESSANTLY DESIRE
FOR ACHIEVEMENT. SUCH CRAVING IS A MANIFESTATION OF
ASPIRATION. IT IS EVEN MORE SATISFYING TO LEAD THOSE WHO
PERSISTENTLY WORK AND COMMIT THEMSELVES IN THE NAME OF
PUBLIC SERVICE.
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. IT IS BUT FITTING THEN THAT WE
HAVE AWARDED THEM MEDALS AS A MEANS OF RECOGNITION TO
THEIR LAUDABLE CONTRIBUTION NOT ONLY TO PRO2 BUT TO THE
ENTIRE PNP ORGANIZATION.
OUR

CONSTANT

DEVELOPMENT
FRUITS.

IT

IS

HAS

QUEST
BEEN

QUITE

FOR

TRANSFORMATION

CONTINUOUSLY

FULFILLING

TO

BEARING

NOTE

THAT

AND
GOOD
OUR

ACHIEVEMENTS HAVE BEEN PRAISED AND CITED NOT ONLY

WITHIN PNP BUT ALSO BY OTHER UNIFORMED ORGANIZATIONS AS
WELL AS OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCIES AND NGOs. THE
RECOGNITION THAT THEY BESTOW US EVERY NOW AND THEN IS A

CLEAR INDICATION THAT OUR EFFORT TO ERADICATE CRIMINALITY

AND MAINTAIN PEACE AND ORDER IS FELT BY THE COMMUNITY.
MORE IMPORTANTLY, IT IS A SIGN THAT WE ARE PERFORMING OUR
TASK: TO SERVE AND PROTECT THE PEOPLE WELL.
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.
I URGE EVERYONE TO CONTINUALLY DO HIS PART AS WE
TREAD

THE

ROAD

OF

TRANSFORMATION

TOWARDS

DEVELOPMENT AND EFFICIENCY.

OUR COLLECTIVE EFFORT WILL BEAR THE FRUIT THAT WE
HAVE BEEN DREAMING FOR: A SAFER PLACE TO LIVE IN.
THANK YOU.
