I congratulate you all for a promotion that I know is well-deserved,
00:05.1
the fitting reward for a career and a life dedicated to public service.
00:11.7
It is a recognition that is built on merit,
00:15.2
as all professional advancements in the armed services should be.
00:19.7
It is also based on competence, pursuant to the time-honored tradition
00:24.1
that the only way to step up in ranks is to step up with your work.
00:29.2
From the day you get your first commission, many decades ago,
00:34.8
you have since given your best,
00:37.5
making sure every assignment is one rung up the ladder in terms of, of course, your rank,
00:44.9
but more importantly, in terms of the quality of the service and the work and the mission that you are complying with.
00:53.9
But you have not yet reached the summit of your career.
00:57.7
Your new rank, however,
00:59.2
does not send you out to your last patrol.
01:02.2
There is much still left to do,
01:04.3
missions to accomplish,
01:06.0
service to be selfishly rendered to the people that we have all sworn to protect with our lives.
01:13.1
If any, the stars on your shoulder do not just indicate rank,
01:18.1
but are reminders of the responsibilities,
01:21.3
added responsibilities that you now have to carry on those shoulders.
01:25.3
The more stars there are, the heavier the responsibilities,
01:29.2
the greater the responsibility.
01:31.2
Be mindful always of the weight that that carries.
01:33.2
After all, the load that you feel are, in fact, our people's hopes.
01:39.2
Especially now that we are at the juncture of our history,
01:43.2
where our nation faces complex security challenges,
01:47.2
the response to which requires bold thinking, brave action,
01:51.2
which I know you can supply in abundant amounts as befits your rank,
01:55.2
and you can summon from your previous experience.
01:59.2
This is the landscape that confronts you now.
02:02.2
It is the security terrain that you have to address
02:05.2
in the remaining tours of duty of your career.
02:08.2
As senior officers in our armed services,
02:11.2
may the stars conferred upon you serve as an inspiration
02:15.2
in performing your duties with utmost dedication,
02:18.2
professionalism, integrity, all worthy of emulation.
02:24.2
Be a boot on the ground, or be among them,
02:27.2
and still command.
02:29.2
I know that until the last hour of your last day in office,
02:35.2
you will do your work that honors our oath, respects our uniform,
02:41.2
earns the admiration of our peers,
02:44.2
and affirms the prestige that you have earned through a lifetime of service.
02:50.2
That you will uphold the principles that made you patriots,
02:54.2
professionals, always compliant with command,
02:57.2
faithful to our Constitution,
02:58.2
loyal to our country,
03:00.2
and mindful of our conscience.
03:03.2
Your duty is great, and it will continue to be,
03:07.2
and the works that await you are even heavier.
03:11.2
We still have many missions to face,
03:15.2
you have a great hope in the worship of the republic
03:23.2
that we serve and love.
03:26.2
Let us not let them down.
03:28.2
That is the replacement of your new rank.
03:31.2
That is the key to their respect for you.
03:35.2
Long live the AFP.
03:37.2
Long live the new Philippines.
03:40.2
And again, congratulations to our new promoted General Officers and Flag Officers.
