“Salamat sa aking mga kapwa kuya at ate na bumubuo ng Fraternal Order of Eagles. Ang pagkilalang ito ay patunay na kapag inuna natin ang interes at kapakanan ng ating kapwa, hinding-hindi tayo magkakamali,” he said.

“However, as I’ve said, with or without an award or recognition, I will continue to serve my fellow Filipinos. Tutulong ako sa abot ng aking makakaya lalo na sa mga mahihirap nating kababayan.

Bilang kaisa ng inyong organisasyon, ipagpatuloy natin ang pagseserbisyo at pagmamalasakit sa ating mga kapwa na nangangailangan,” he expressed further.
