Sometime in the 1st quarter of this year, at the height of the national shock, confusion, sadness and anger caused by the Mamasapano Incident, I sent a text message to Gen. Leonardo (Brod Dindo) Espina stating that the Fraternity admired, and would continue to monitor, his public pronouncements and activities in connection with the incident; and that he should be guided by the Constitution, his Faith, and his Family as he faced the challenges caused by the incident to the institution that he leads, the Philippine National Police (PNP).
From the Senate, where Brod Dindo was then attending a series of exhaustive hearings on the incident, he replied to me to express his gratitude.
As Brod Dindo retires this month from the public service, his true destiny is yet to unravel and manifest itself.
I would not be surprised if by June 2016 Brod Dindo takes his oath of office as a member of Congress or as a Cabinet official or as a Presidential Adviser.
At the age of 56, a great man with a great mind and a great purpose in life cannot and should not be immobilized and paralyzed by a minor interlude in life called Retirement.
I join the whole U.P. TAU OMEGA MU FRATERNITY in expressing our strong moral and spiritual support to Brod Dindo and to his advocacy as a national leader.
LET THE OMEGAN SPIRIT OF EXCELLENCE, LOYALTY, UNITY, SERVICE, AND PATRIOTISM GUIDE HIM AS HE CONTINUES TO SERVE OUR COUNTRY!
LET THE OMEGAN SPIRIT OF EXCELLENCE, LOYALTY, UNITY, SERVICE, AND PATRIOTISM GUIDE HIM AS HE CONTINUES TO SERVE OUR COUNTRY!
