“The road ahead will be very challenging but let us keep the burning passion in our hearts to selflessly serve our countrymen, fresh faces for a Bagong Pilipinas!” the Secretary said.

(“Maraming pagsubok sa daan na ating tatahakin pero laging panatilihin ang tikas ng inyong mga puso sa pagsisilbi sa taumbayan, kayo ang mga bagong mukha, bagong pag-asa sa ating Bagong Pilipinas!”)
