GREETINGS
I DO AGREE WITH THE MAXIM THAT WHEN THE INTENTION IS
CLEAR, MECHANISM WILL FOLLOW. SINCE I TOOK THE SEAT AS
YOUR REGIONAL DIRECTOR, NO OTHER THING WAS IN MY MIND BUT
TO IMPROVE PRO2. LOOK AROUND YOU NOW. DO YOU SEE ANY
CHANGES ON THE PHYSIQUE OF OUR CAMP? LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
WE HAVE JUST BEGUN. THE ADDITIONAL BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES
ARE JUST FEW OF THE PROJECTS I AM AIMING AND I HAVE LAIN TO
ACCOMPLISH.
WE KEEP ON ACHIEVING ACCOMPLISHMENTS THAT MAKE THE
PRO2 LAUREL SHINES ITS USUAL RADIANCE. I WOULD LIKE TO
MENTION THAT THE WORKFORCE THE VALLEY COPS, OUR OFFICIAL
PUBLICATION, DID VERY WELL IN THE PREPARATION AND LAUNCHING
OF ITS MAIDEN ISSUE. I HOPE EVERYBODY REALIZES THE IMPORTANCE
OF THIS PAPER. WE KEEP ON MENTIONING THAT WE NEED THE
PARTICIPATION OF THE COMMUNITY TO REALIZE OUR ORGANIZATIONS
MISSION AND VISION. IT IS FOR THIS REASON THAT WE KEEP ON
ORCHESTRATING PROGRAMS TO ENSURE THAT WE REACH THE PEOPLE
AND AT THE SAME TIME UTILIZE THEM FOR THE PURPOSE. THE
VALLEY COPS NOW SERVE AS OUR COURIER, ORIENTING THE PEOPLE
OF OUR PROGRAMS AND COURSES OF ACTION TO ENSURE PUBLIC
SAFETY. IT WILL ALSO BECOME OUR CHANNEL TO LEARN THE
COMMUNITYS FEEDBACKS WHICH WE COULD USE AS BENCHMARKS
AND YARDSTICKS TO MEASURE OUR EFFECTIVITY AND EFFICIENCY AS
LAW ENFORCERS.
OUR PAPER HAS REACHED THE GRASSROOTS LEVEL AS WE HAVE
ENVISIONED. IT IS NOW READ BY THE STAKEHOLDERS, TEACHERS,

STUDENTS AND OTHER MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY ENTIRE REGION

2.
NOW

WE

SEE

SOME

OF

THE

MEN

AND

WOMEN

WHO

PAINSTAKINGLY TOILED FOR THE LAUNCHING OF THE PAPER. DONT

YOU THINK THEY DESERVE A HUGE APPLAUSE? MAY THE MEDALS YOU
JUST RECEIVED RECOMPENSE THOSE SLEEPLESS NIGHTS AND HECTIC
DAYS YOU HAVE SPENT IN DRAFTING, EDITING, PRINTING AND THE
LIKES.
OUR OPERATIONAL RESPONSES ALSO PROVE TO BE EFFECTIVE
AND ALWAYS ON THE ALERT. DESPITE THE VERY LOW RATIO THAT WE
HAVE, OUR BROTHERS IN UNIFORM STAND BOLDLY IN THWARTING
CRIMINALITY IN THEIR RESPECTIVE AORS. THEY TREAD EVEN THE
MOST DANGEROUS WAYS TO ENSURE THAT PUBLIC SAFETY IS
MAINTAINED.
I ALWAYS BELIEVE THAT ONE WAY OF MAINTAINING AND
STRENGTHENING 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. IT IS BUT FITTING THEN THAT WE HAVE

AWARDED THEM MEDALS FOR THEIR LAUDABLE CONTRIBUTION NOT
ONLY TO PRO2 BUT TO THE ENTIRE PNP AS WEEL.
I AM HAPPY TO KNOW THAT DESPITE THE LIMITED RESOURCES
THAT WE HAVE, WE ARE ABLE TO PERFORM OUR DUTIES WITH
EVIDENT DEDICATION AND EFFICIENCY. IN THIS NOTE, I WOULD LIKE TO
CONGRATULATE TODAYS AWARDEES FOR THEIR DEDICATION TO DUTY.
KEEP IT UP. LET US MARCH AS ONE TOWARDS DEVELOPMENT,
PROFESSIONALISM AND SUCCESS.
I BELIEVE WE CAN GO FARTHER AND ACHIEVE MORE BECAUSE
OUR INTENTION IS CLEAR, THAT IS: MAKING PRO2 ACHIEVE MORE IN
ITS MANDATE TO SERVE AND PROTECT THE COMMUNITY. SURELY,
MECHANISM WILL FOLLOW.

THANK YOU.
