and urged them to become role models in serving fellow Filipinos.
“Many are called but only few are chosen. Serve the public with
integrity, honor, competency, and compassion. Life in the PCG is not
easy. We are here to save lives, maintain peace and order, and enforce
the law,” Vice Admiral Rances said during his speech.
