CONGRATULATORY MESSAGE OF SECRETARY BENHUR ABALOS TO NEW DILG LAWYERS

December 7, 2023

ATTY. BENJAMIN C. ABALOS, JR.
Secretary

Congratulations to the 49 new lawyers from the DILG Central and Regional Offices, and its attached agencies!

Your dedication, hard work, and resilience have finally paid off!

I also salute your families and loved ones for supporting you throughout your journey.

As a fellow lawyer, I know the sacrifices and challenges in conquering the bar exams.

I know it had been a tough road for all of you, as you had to juggle your studies with your duties in the DILG.

Your triumph proves that our Department is truly a home to matitino, mahuhusay, at maaasahang public servants.

The government needs you to strengthen our legal offensive in the campaign against criminality, illegal drugs, and corruption.

Patuloy ninyong paglingkuran ang ating kapwa Pilipino at ang bansa nang may pagpapakumbaba at integridad.

Let us continue working together to build a Bagong Pilipinas that embraces fairness, justice, and inclusivity.

Again, congratulations to all of you.

You’ve made your DILG Family proud!
