Gumamit ng teknolohiya para labanan ang krimen, magsilbi sa mga Filipino

HINIKAYAT ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. ang 223 bagong uniformed personnel sa ilalim ng Philippine National Police Academy (PNPA) “Layag-Diwa” Class of 2024 na gamitin ang teknolohiya sa paglaban sa krimen at pagsisilbi sa mga mamamayang Filipino.

“Most of you were born when the internet was no longer in its infancy, and you were shaped to be tech savvy, digital natives. I challenge you to leverage that technology that you are familiar with as aids in protecting and serving our people, especially in battling cybercrime. I ask you to embrace smart policing, fire prevention, and penology,” ayon kay Pangulong Marcos sa kanyang naging talumpati sa 45th PNPA Commencement Exercises sa Silang, Cavite.

“There is still no substitute for pounding the streets.  When it comes to assuring the people, analog will always beat digital. But there is now a need to patrol the information highway for robbers lurk there, too. The fight against crime is now a potent mix of gadgets and war rooms, and old-fashioned grunt work, by gritty police officers,” ang pahayag pa rin ng Chief Executive.

Gayundin, hinikayat ni Pangulong Marcos ang PNPA graduates na nakatakdang sumapi sa Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) at Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) na gumamit ng information technology para mapahusay ang pagpapaabot ng serbisyo habang pinaliliit ang gastos.

“We should not be content with current fire response time, but instead strive to make it faster. We should not crow about jail improvements, but we should push the envelope further, lessening congestion. And most of those in uniform have kept the values and principles that define who public servants truly are,” aniya pa rin.

Gayundin, pinaalalahanan ng Pangulo ang mga bagong uniformed personnel na ang kanilang serbisyo ay “not a race to collect insignia nor accumulate prized assignments.”

“Let me remind you that your career should not be measured by the speed you have moved up the ranks alone, but by the quality of the service that you have given to our people… It is to do as much good as often to as many without expecting any reward in return, because service itself is our reward,” ang winika ng Pangulo.

Samantala, kasama ng Pangulo sina Vice President Sara Duterte at Interior and Local Government Secretary Benjamin Abalos Jr. sa 45th PNPA Commencement Exercises. (Daris Jose)
