By Eduardo Zuluaga, Immediate Past President

2010 COPS Awarding Ceremony

December 9, 2010 

IN BEHALF OF THE ROTARY CLUB OF NEW MANILA EAST AND THE ROTARY DISTRICT 3780 OF QUEZON CITY, I WISH TO CONGRATULATE THIS YEAR’S WINNERS OF THE COUNTRY’S OUTSTANDING POLICEMEN IN SERVICE.   

C O P S YOU NOW JOIN A SELECT GROUP OF UNIQUE INDIVIDUALS WHOSE CAREERS IN PUBLIC SERVICE HAVE BEEN RECOGNIZED AS EXEMPLARY. VOCATIONAL SERVICE IS ONE OF FOUR AVENUES IN ROTARY WHICH WE, AS ROTARIAN’S HOLD MOST DEAR. TODAY IN THIS HALLOWED HALL, IN THE PRESENCE OF NO LESS THAN THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC, TOGETHER WITH OUR PARTNERS THE METROBANK FOUNDATION, PSBANK, AND THE PHILIPPINE NATIONAL POLICE; YOUR FAMILIES AND GUESTS PRESENT, YOU AS WINNERS, GIVE OUR AWARD LIFE. YOU GIVE IT A FACE, YOU GIVE IT A NAME. YOU SET AN EXAMPLE AND IN SO DOING BECOME SYMBOLS THAT MANY OF US HERE, THOSE IN PNP AND IN OUR COMMUNITIES WILL STRIVE TO EMULATE.   

WHILE IT IS OUR HOPE THAT YOU WILL ALL BECOME ROTARIANS IN THE FUTURE, YOU HAVE PROVEN HERE TODAY THAT “SERVICE ABOVE SELF” IS YOUR MOTTO ALSO.

I PRAY THAT THE ALL MIGHTY   KEEP YOU SAFE ALWAYS AND WISH YOU ALL GOD SPEED.

THANK YOU AND GOOD AFTERNOON
