00:00At the time when our nation faces many challenges that shake our people's trust in our institutions,
00:11your stories once again give us reason to believe in the goodness of our people.
00:17They remind us that integrity and excellence must be at the heart of the work that we all do.
00:24And so we confer these awards at the time when we also confront a difficult question.
00:28One that is not lost on any of us, papagkat at niwalaan ba ang pamahalaan?
00:35And to that I say, look at these men and women.
00:39In their service, you will find your answer.
00:43Because of them, we are reminded that hope is never lost, that integrity lives in our institutions,
00:50that honor still defines what it means to be a Philippine.
00:54Bawat apat na guro, sundano at pulis ay isang tagumpay laban sa katibalihan at pangungutya na sumasalot sa ating bansa.
01:06Kasama po kayo sa aming inspirasyon upang magsumigap na itama ang mga nagkagawin ang mali sa bubanyan.
01:15Patuloy tayo sa pagkilinis ng halay ng panghala upang matiyan na ang bawat opisyal, bawat lingkod bayan ay tarapagdaba sa biwanag ibinibigay sa kanila ng taong bayan.
01:29Hindi madali ang laban na ito.
01:32Marami pa tayong nakaharapin.
01:34Marami pa tayong pagdadaanan.
01:35It will be hard, and sometimes it will be painful, but it will be worth it, because we are fighting for, what we are fighting for is a country that our children will inherit,
01:48that a nation that they can be proud of, that they can be proud to say, I am free.
01:53Marami pa tayong nakaharapin.
02:23Marami pa tayong nakaharapin.
