TODAYS

FLAG

RAISING

CEREMONY

IS

MADE

MORE

SIGNIFICANT AND MEANINGFUL WITH THE PRESENCE OF OUR

PROMOTEES, TOGETHER WITH THEIR RESPECTIVE FAMILIES AS
THEY WILL BE GIVEN HONOR AND RECOGNITION IN THIS PINNING
OF RANK INSIGNIAS AND CHEVRONS.
WITH THIS, I WOULD LIKE TO CONGRATULATE ALL OF YOU
FOR THE WELL-DESERVED PROMOTION. I KNOW YOU ARE ALL IN
HIGH SPIRITS FOR TODAY, YOU HAVE REAPED THE FRUITS OF
YOUR TOIL. CONGRATULATIONS! LET US ACKNOWLEDGE OUR
EFFORTS AND GIVE OURSELVES A BIG ROUND OF APPLAUSE.
THERE IS A TOTAL OF SIX HUNDRED AND FORTY-SIX (646)
PERSONNEL WHO ARE PROMOTED IN THE ENTIRE PRO2. FORTYTHREE (43) OF THEM ARE COMMISSIONED OFFICERS AND THE
REST ARE

NONCOMMISSIONED OFFICERS. FIFTEEN (15) OF

THESE NEWLY PROMOTED PCOS ARE ASSIGNED HERE IN THE

REGIONAL HEADQUARTERS AND NINETY-SIX (96) ARE PNCOS, TO
INCLUDE THOSE FROM THE 2ND RPSB. BE THANKFUL THAT THE
PNP

IS

VERY

RESPONSIVE

TOWARD

ITS

PERSONNEL

DEVELOPMENT. THOUGH ALL OF YOU ARE HIGHLY QUALIFIED AND

FIT IN YOUR NEW RANKS, I STILL CONSIDER YOU LUCKY THAT THE
NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS DID NOT SET ANY QUOTA IN THIS
PHASE OF PROMOTION. ALL OF YOU WHO RELIGIOUSLY COMPLIED
WITH THE REQUIREMENTS ARE PROMOTED.
AS

NEWLY

PROMOTED

MEMBERS

OF

THE

REGIONAL

HEADQUARTERS, I HOPE YOU WILL ADD GLORY TO THE POLICE

FORCE

AND

SHALL

REINFORCE

THE

SERVANT-LEADERSHIP

CONCEPT, WHERE WE ACCEPT WE ARE SERVANTS FIRST AND

FOREMOST, BECAUSE WE WANT TO TRULY SERVE AND PROTECT.

YOUR WELL-EARNED PROMOTION ALSO SYMBOLIZES

DEEPER COMMITMENT TO SERVICE. LET OURSELVES BE EXAMPLES

OF

CIVIL

SERVANTS

WHO

ARE

HONEST,

HARDWORKING,

DEDICATED AND EFFICIENT. BE MINDFUL THAT THIS ALSO MEANS

AN ADDITION TO YOUR SUPERVISORY FUNCTIONS. WHILE WE
OBSERVE RHIP, WE ARE ALSO AWARE OF THE RESPONSIBILITY
THAT EACH RANK CARRIES.
I THEREFORE CALL UPON YOU TO JOIN HANDS WITH ME IN
THE FULFILLMENT OF OUR COMMON GOAL AND PURPOSE OF OUR
PROFESSION TO SERVE AND PROTECT.
LET US THEREFORE WORK AS ONE IN THE SPIRIT OF
SERVICE.
CONGRATULATIONS AT MABUHAY KAYO!
