I convey my warmest greetings to the awardees of the 2019 Metrobank Foundation
Outstanding Filipinos.

This is a celebration of victory for all teachers, soldiers, and police officers who
embody exceptional performance in their respective professions.

As this year’s Chairman of the Board of Judges, it is my honor to have witnessed your
inspiring stories and experiences in the line of duty. I had a closer look and a deeper
understanding of your personal yet selfless aspirations that paved the way for
innovation and beneficial change for the betterment of the lives of our countrymen
and nation.
Your jobs are not easy, sometimes even requiring the ultimate sacrifice of giving
your lives in service of the nation. On behalf of the Filipino people, I would like to
extend my heartfelt gratitude for serving the country with integrity, patriotism,
compassion, and resourcefulness.

I am confident that through this recognition, you will not just be compelled,
but be all the more encouraged to become models for your colleagues and others.
May you influence those around you to carry the same commitment as yours.

I must say, my overall experience in the search for the Metrobank Foundation
Outstanding Filipinos—as a public servant and Filipino — is very rewarding.

To the Metrobank Foundation, Inc., I commend you for setting the bar high for
acknowledging deserving outstanding men and women of our country. Thank you
for taking the initiative to constantly recognize these dedicated and faithful
Filipino professionals.

I wish you more amazing stories to tell.
Congratulations to all of you! Mabuhay kayong lahat!
