A Heartfelt Christmas and New Year Message to the Philippine Coast Guard Community
As the year comes to a close, we reflect on the challenges overcome, the milestones achieved, and the unwavering dedication of each member of our Philippine Coast Guard family. This holiday season, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to every officer, crew member, civilian employee, and their families for their tireless service and sacrifices in safeguarding our seas, ensuring maritime safety, and protecting our nation’s people.
The spirit of Christmas and New Year reminds us of hope, unity, and generosity—values that resonate deeply within our community. This season, let us come together to celebrate not only the joys of the holidays but also the enduring bonds we share as one Coast Guard family.
To our sponsors, partners, and supporters, your generosity fuels our mission to uplift lives, provide assistance, and empower communities. You are an integral part of the difference we strive to make in the lives of our Coast Guard personnel and their families.
To our heroes at sea, may the light of Christmas guide you, the love of family warm your hearts, and the pride in your service inspire your continued dedication to our nation. As we embrace the new year, may 2025 bring renewed strength, unity, and opportunities to serve with excellence and honor.
May the peace and joy of this holiday season fill your homes and hearts. Together, let us welcome 2025 with hope, determination, and a shared commitment to serve God, our nation, and our fellowmen.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all!
