General and Flag Officers

of the Armed Forces of the Philippines,
03:18.6
fellow workers in government,
03:21.0
other distinguished guests,
03:22.3
ladies and gentlemen,
03:23.2
good afternoon, and once again,
03:26.1
welcome to Malacanang.
03:28.0
I congratulate you,
03:30.0
I congratulate you all for a promotion
03:32.0
that I know is well-deserved,
03:34.7
the fitting reward for a career and a life
03:38.5
dedicated to public service.
03:41.4
It is a recognition that is built on merit,
03:44.9
as all professional advancements
03:46.9
in the armed services should be.
03:49.4
It is also based on competence,
03:51.5
pursuant to the time-honored tradition
03:54.2
that the only way to step up in ranks
03:56.7
is to step up with your work.
03:59.1
is to step up with your work.
03:59.8
From the day you get your first commission,
04:02.5
many decades ago,
04:04.3
you have since given your best,
04:07.1
making sure every assignment
04:08.9
is one rung up the ladder
04:11.1
in terms of, of course, your rank,
04:14.5
but more importantly,
04:15.9
in terms of the quality of the service
04:18.8
and the work and the mission
04:20.4
that you are complying with.
04:23.5
But you have not yet reached
04:25.6
the summit of your career.
04:27.8
Your new rank, however,
04:29.8
has brought you out to your last patrol.
04:32.4
There is much still left to do,
04:34.1
missions to accomplish,
04:35.6
service to be selfishly rendered
04:38.0
to the people that we have all sworn
04:40.4
to protect with our lives.
04:42.6
If any, the stars on your shoulder
04:45.8
do not just indicate rank,
04:47.9
but are reminders of the responsibilities,
04:51.0
added responsibilities,
04:52.6
that you now have to carry on those shoulders.
04:55.8
The more stars there are,
04:57.5
the heavier the responsibility.
04:59.8
Be mindful always of the weight that that carries.
05:03.6
After all, the load that you feel
05:05.9
are, in fact, our people's hopes.
05:09.7
Especially now that we are at the juncture of our history
05:12.8
where our nation faces complex security challenges,
05:16.9
the response to which requires bold thinking,
05:19.4
brave action, which I know
05:20.9
you can supply in abundant amounts
05:23.3
as befits your rank
05:24.9
and you can summon from your previous experience.
05:29.8
This is the landscape that confronts you now.
05:32.9
It is the security terrain that you have to address
05:35.9
in the remaining tours of duty of your career.
05:38.9
As senior officers in our armed services,
05:41.6
may the stars conferred upon you
05:43.9
serve as an inspiration in performing your duties
05:47.2
with utmost dedication, professionalism,
05:50.5
integrity, all worthy of emulation.
05:54.5
Be a boot on the ground or be among them
05:57.7
and still command from the front.
05:59.8
I know that until the last hour of your last day in office,
06:05.0
you will do your work that honors our oath,
06:09.0
respects our uniform,
06:11.2
earns the admiration of our peers,
06:13.7
and affirms the prestige that you have earned
06:17.0
through a lifetime of service.
06:20.7
That you will uphold the principles
06:22.2
that made you patriots, professionals,
06:24.8
always compliant with command,
06:26.9
faithful to our Constitution,
06:29.8
loyal to our country,
06:30.8
and mindful of our conscience.
06:33.8
Your duty is great and will continue to be fulfilled
06:37.8
and the works that await you are even heavier.
06:41.8
We still have many missions to face
06:45.8
we have high expectations of you
06:48.8
for the peace and security of our republic
06:53.8
that we are defending and loving.
06:56.8
Let us not let them down.

Let us not disappoint you.
07:14.9
