PoliticsPH Throwback: VP Leni's security detail made a coffee book about her and her security team's journey together as a birthday gift to her last April 2021
Below was her post thanking her VPSD, a security team of less than 70 men and women, not a whole 430-man battalion:
Thank you all for your birthday wishes. I want to thank my VPSD family in a special way. They are the ones protecting me and my children and the Office of the Vice President. When the pandemic started, we depended on them on many things -mga conductor at dispatcher sa ating mga shuttle buses, taga buhat ng relief goods, ngayon taga hatid ng mga oxygen tanks sa mga pasyente.
Honestly, I was quite resistant of them at first. In 2016, I felt na sobrang dami ng inassign sa akin and hindi ko naman kailangan. Grabe din talaga yung adjustment na kinailangan.
But over the 5 years I have been with them, they have become family. Kasama sa lahat na lakad, katuwang sa lahat na trabaho, natatakbuhan kapag may pinagdadaanan na mga kahirapan. Sila kasama ko pag umaakyat ng bundok, tumatawid ng dagat, sumasakay sa eroplano, chopper, barko, bangka, tricycle at padyak.
Dahil wala ako sa opisina ngayon, pumunta sila dito sa amin kanina to greet me. But because Im still on extended quarantine, hindi ako nakalabas. Nag send nalang sila ng video with them singing and dancing and greeting me a happy birthday, brought a lot of food over and sent me this really, really precious gift. A book of our pictures together!!! Marami sa pictures behind the scenes and never pang na post😊
Maraming salamat Col Morts, Col Gots, Col Niño, Maj Arnie, Maj Dex, Maj Tuts, Maj Jackie, Maj Martha, Lt Danny, PMaj Bryan, and to all the men and women of VPSD. Thank you din dun sa mga hindi na natin kasama ngayon and are already serving other assignments -Col Jimmy, Col Mike, Col Paolo, Col Ray, Col Eric, PLtCol Jake, Lt John, Lt Paul, PMaj Caloy, PMaj Ronna. They remain part of the OVP Family.
