President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Friday said the government will continue to work hard to give proper support to the police, military, and other ranks so that they can properly fulfill their mandate.

In a thanksgiving ceremony in Davao, Marcos said the families of these uniformed personnel should also receive every type of support the government offers them through programs like the Comprehensive Social Benefits Program (CSBP).

"Rest assured that the government will continue to strive to provide the necessary support for our police, military, and other ranks to fulfill their mandate. Included in this effort is ensuring the well-being of your families through programs like CSBP," Marcos said.

"The medical, financial, educational, employment, housing, and other social welfare assistance provided by CSBP are only appropriate for you, for the families left behind by our brave soldiers in the midst of battle," Marcos added.

The President then directed all implementing bodies to ensure the prompt provision of benefits and aid to the recipients.

Marcos also reminded the agencies that the goal is to ensure that all Filipinos benefit from government programs.

"As we move forward with the New Philippines, all Filipinos will progress and be partners in this transformation," Marcos said.

Marcos also expressed his gratitude to the members of the armed forces, police, and other uniformed personnel who have sacrificed their lives or been wounded while serving the country.

"We can never repay the service they have dedicated to keeping our communities peaceful, safe, and orderly," Marcos said. "Their example is a testament to the innate talent, courage, and honor of Filipinos, and to our unwavering love for our country."

Marcos also acknowledged the significant contribution of the heroes to the identity and history of the Philippines. He said that their sacrifices will never be forgotten.

Established through Executive Order No. 110 in 2020, the CSBP offers various forms of support and aid, including unique financial help, scholarships, special welfare assistance, healthcare support, housing assistance, and employment aid.
