(Eagle News)–Your careers should not be measured by the speed with which you are promoted but by the quality of your service.
This was the message of President Bongbong Marcos in the Philippine National Police Academy on Friday, April 19, where he served as keynote speaker during the 45th PNPA Commencement Exercises for Layag-Diwa Class of 2024.
“The service you are about to consecrate your life to is not a race to collect insignia nor accumulate prized assignments. It is to do as much good as often to as many without expecting any reward in return,” he said.
He told the graduating class to let the school’s core values of Justice, Integrity, Service, “be the wind that propels you forward.”
He added that there was no shortage of role models in the PNP, the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP), and the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP).
“Because service itself is our reward,” he said.
Of the 223 graduating PNPA cadets, 199 will serve the PNP.
Twelve, meanwhile, will be enlisted in the BJMP while another 12 will join the BFP.
