AS we joyously celebrate the Christmas season, I take this opportunity to extend my heartfelt greetings to each and every one of you. This festive occasion serves as a poignant reminder of the true essence of Christmas, which lies in the spirit of sacrifice.
Just as Jesus Christ was born more than two millennia ago in the humble confines of a stable, his life, bestowed upon humanity as a divine gift, remains an eternal symbol of love and mercy.
As police officers, we are entrusted with the duty to serve and protect our fellow Filipinos, facing countless challenges and adversities throughout the year in our commitment to ensuring the safety and security of our nation. We willingly sacrifice our time, comfort, and even our lives to fulfill this noble responsibility.
Amidst the celebrations, let us not forget the true meaning of Christmas – the spirit of selflessness and kindness. It is a time to extend a helping hand to those in need and to cherish the moments spent with our families, who serve as our support and foundation.
Together, let us embody the values of love, compassion, and generosity that define this season.
As the entire Philippine National Police family rejoices during this season, let us, like the holy family of Joseph, Mary, and Jesus, unite as one family as well. May the bond we share result in strong unity and extraordinary strength as we confront and overcome difficult times together. Let us draw inspiration from the resilience and unwavering faith of the holy family, and may it guide us in our endeavors.
To the 232,675 men and women of the Philippine National Police, I extend my deepest gratitude for your unwavering commitment and dedication to the service of the Filipino people. Your sacrifices and tireless efforts in ensuring the safety and security of our nation do not go unnoticed. I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a bountiful New Year filled with joy, peace, and renewed strength. May you find solace in the knowledge that your service brings comfort and security to our fellow Filipinos.
And to the Filipino people, may the selfless service of the men and women in uniform provide you with a sense of security, allowing you to fully enjoy the holiday season. Rest assured that we will not let the actions of a few ruin the festivities. We are committed to being of service not only during the holidays but throughout the year. Together, let us stand strong and united against any challenges that come our way.
Stay safe and stay strong, everyone. May God bless the Philippines and may the spirit of Christmas continue to inspire us all.
