MANILA — President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. told the Philippine National Police Academy’s (PNPA) graduates to let the school’s core values of justice, integrity, and service “be the wind that propels them forward.”
Marcos made these remarks during the 45th PNPA Commencement Exercises for the Layag-Diwa Class of 2024.
“Let me remind you that your career should not be measured by the speed you have moved up the ranks alone, but by the quality of the service that you have given to our people,” the President said.
“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 because service itself is our reward,” he added.
According to the Presidential Communications Office (PCO), of 223 graduating PNPA cadets, 199 will serve the PNP, 12 will be enlisted at the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) and another 12 will join the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP).
