“The sun himself is weak when he first rises; and gathers strength and courage as the day gets on."

Updated: Feb 13, 2023

- Charles Dickens




MONDAY, the first day of the week, although many of us hate Monday because It feels so heavy to start our day, as Charles Dickens’s quote says the sun himself is weak when he first rises but eventually it gains strength and courage throughout the day(1), it applies the same to us, public servants and law enforcers, we may feel week and unconfident in facing the new problems may arise in our day but along the day we will find the courage to face it and making any other problems easier to solve as we gain strength with the help of our previous experiences that molds us who we are now in the present.


January 16, 2023, P/CDT DECRIPITO and P/CDT MACARANDAN attended the Traditional Monday Flag raising ceremony together with the personnel of Digos City Police Station, Bureau of Fire Protection, Bureau of Jail Management and Penology, Armed Forces of the Philippines and the Local Government Unit of Digos City held at Digos City Gym. This activity was led by Mayor Joseph F. Cagas and presented the accomplishments of the LGU and the turnover of 88 tablets given to the different schools of Digos City. After that we have the chance to be part of the command meeting conducted by PLTCOL HAMLET MONTEJO LERIOS to the different section heads, we have experienced the pressure of becoming officers someday, and that is why we need to take our assignments seriously because even the smallest mistake you commit many of your men will suffer. This experience is very essential to me in building my foundation as a law enforcer and future leader of the Philippine National Police.

Even the biggest and strongest things in the world can begin little and weak, but with patience, hard work, and persistence, they can develop into something even greater and more powerful. Numerous other areas of life, including relationships, careers, and personal development, can also be addressed by this concept. It's important to have patience and to keep moving forward, even when things are difficult or seem impossible. We all have the capacity to overcome obstacles and realize our full potential with perseverance and hard effort.


When are having a hard time achieving things, the key is to have specific goals in mind, a plan for achieving them, and the determination to push through on them despite challenges and failures. We may overcome obstacles and realize our full potential by putting our focus on our strengths, taking responsibility for our failures, and surrounding ourselves with positive individuals. It's important to maintain a positive perspective and to treat ourselves with compassion throughout the process. Keep in mind that progress is a journey rather than a final destination and that every forward movement, no matter how tiny, is a step in the right direction.
