It is with great pleasure that I convey my warmest felicitations to the men and women of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) as they celebrate their 65th Anniversary.
I laud this agency for firmly exercising its mandate to serve the interest of truth and justice in the country. The NBI has earned a distinguished record of achievements in public service through specialized criminal investigation and related services; thus earning the trust and confidence of the people.
The National Bureau of Investigation continues to score significant breakthrough in its battle against crime and lawlessness. Through the years, even as it has etched a name in the annals of law enforcement, the Bureau continues to be an important component of criminal justice system. With this, I urge everyone in the NBI to strengthen their dedication in safeguarding the interest of our country and its people.
May you persevere in your commitment to be active participants of the government in the achievement of the goals for our country. Let us continue our work together in rebuilding this nation towards greater peace, progress, and prosperity.
More power and Mabuhay tayong lahat !
