SENATOR Christopher ‘Bong’ Go encouraged the graduates of the Philippine National Police Academy to stay committed in protecting the Filipino people and serving the country.

President Rodrigo Duterte led the 43rd Commencement Exercises of the “Alab-Kalis” Class of 2022 at the Camp General Mariano N. Castañeda in Silang, Cavite.

Alab-Kalis, which stands for Alagad ng Batas ng Kakalinga sa Sinilangang Bayad, had 229 members.

Among those who graduated, 206 will join the Philippine National Police, 12 will serve at the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology and 11 will join the Bureau of Fire Protection.

“Para sa mga nakapagtapos ng kanilang pag-aaral sa PNPA, congratulations po sa inyong lahat. Malaki po ang tiwala namin sa inyo ni Pangulong Duterte that you’ll be able to serve and protect our fellow Filipinos. Inaasahan namin na tapat ninyong mapaglilingkuran ang bayan,” Go said.

“Alam ko pong mahirap ang inyong pinagdaanan para makarating kayo dito kaya naman continue to inspire and influence other youths who are also taking up the same paths,” he added.

Go also encouraged the graduates to help in nation-building, ensure the nation’s peace and order, and continue the Duterte legacy of promoting a more comfortable life for all Filipinos.
