“Sa ating mga bagong abogado, patunay kayo ng sipag, talino, at determinasyon ng Batang Kankaloo. Nawa’y gamitin ninyo ang inyong kaalaman at kakayahan sa pagseserbisyo nang tapat at may integridad para sa bayan (To our new lawyers, you are proof of the hard work, intelligence, and determination of Batang Kankaloo. May you use your knowledge and skills to serve the public with honesty and integrity),” he added.
