Para sa isang sundalo, pinakamahalaga na magawaran siya ng Medal of Valor bilang kapalit sa pagtatanggol at kabayanihan sa bayan kumpara sa mabigyan ng mga materyal na bagay na katulad ng mga mamahaling relo.

Ito ang naging pahayag ni Senador Panfilo Lacson, Chairman ng Senate Committee on Public Order and Illegal Drugs, na naging pinakarespetadong pinuno ng Philippine National Police at produkto ng Philippine Military Academy.

Ang naturang pahayag ay inilahad ni Lacson sa mga mamamahayag sa Senado, ilang araw matapos na mabalita ang balak umano ng Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte na bigyan ng relong tatak Rolex ang mga sundalong gagawaran ng Medal of Valor.

A Medal of Valor would be worth much more than a luxury wristwatch to soldiers who served the country well, Sen. Panfilo M. Lacson said Monday.

Lacson, a member of the Philippine Military Academy Class 1971, said the Medal of Valor is rarely given since the opportunity for it rarely arises.

“To any soldier, a Medal of Valor is worth more than a hundred Rolex watches. Every soldier dreams of having one more than he dreams of owning a Rolex watch,” he said.
