MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Tuesday urged the Assembly of Service Academies and Schools Alumni Association of the Philippines (ASASAAP) to help promote development and peace in the country.
Established in 2021, the ASASAAP is comprised of schools from the Philippine Military Academy Alumni Association Inc., the Philippine Merchant Marine Academy Alumni Association Inc., the Philippine National Police Academy Alumni Association, and the Philippine Air Force Flying School Alumni Association Inc.
“I, therefore, call on all of you to support our goal of promoting inclusive development across the country and maintaining a safe, peaceful, and prosperous Philippines,” the President said during the oath-taking of the new board members of the ASASAAP.
Marcos promised government support for the schools, especially in service of the Filipino public. He encouraged the ASASAAP to continue to demonstrate professionalism and integrity.
“With your extensive collective experience and expertise, this government will always be willing to work and discuss with you matters of national security and public service in general. As you lead this organization, may each of you remain dedicated in your service to your members, even as you empower your respective academies, fellow alumni, and even cadets,” he said.
