During the oath-taking ceremony of six newly-promoted Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) officers, Department of Transportation - Philippines (DOTr) Secretary Arthur P. Tugade challenged them to have firmer and stronger resolve to be loyal to the country, flag, president, and God Almighty.
"In your own ways, as you get promoted, help make this country a better place to live in. Bilang pasasalamat sa ating Pangulo na nag-approve ng inyong promotion, gawin ninyo nang dapat at sukdulan ang inyong katungkulan," Secretary Tugade exhorted.
Instead of holding a general oath-taking session to save time and effort, the DOTr Secretary intentionally administered individual oath-taking sessions with the six promotees to sincerely express his felicitations and gratitude for their personal sacrifices as public servants.
