Ang tunay na lider ay hindi tumatalikod sa mga pagsubok at responsibilidad.
#PingTweets: On reported ouster threats vs Senate President Pimentel
Koko will stay as SP. The majority bloc, all 16 of us are solidly supporting his senate leadership. 13 votes to oust is extremely improbable.

Where We Are
Speech before the Rotary Club of Manila
I feel honored today. It is good to be with you again. After all, it is not every week that one is given the chance to speak before the oldest of the country’s Rotary Clubs – certainly not the kind that Spokesman Toting Bunye has insulted.

The invitation of President Cesar made through fellow Rtn. Art to be your guest speaker today brings back good memories. This is the group to whom I delivered my first major address when I became Chief of the Philippine National Police in November 1999.

It was AID – aptitude, integrity, discipline. Continue reading “Where We Are”
Isipin ang Kinabukasan
Speech before the Graduating Students of Occidental Mindoro National College (Mamburao Campus), Mamburao, Occidental Mindoro

When parents combine with teachers, our children see things happen. When teachers, parents, and students combine, our children can make things happen. Not only for the teachers and the schools, not only for the parents their families, but also – and more importantly for the children themselves and their future.
What lies behind – during those four years of college studies – is very important. There is something more important, though. And that is what lies ahead. Continue reading “Isipin ang Kinabukasan”
Leadership Excellence and Dedicated Service
Speech Before Davao Jaycees, Davao City
I cannot but begin to say how grateful I am for your very kind invitation. Any invitation from the Jaycees is one I long for. I feel honored and inspired. After the Philippine Jaycees recognized me with a “Ten Outstanding Policemen of the Philippines” award in 1998, I have always felt like a Jaycee myself. Maraming salamat sa inyong lahat.
