As-salamu alaykum Magandang umaga sa inyong lahat
I am honored and delighted to be back in Mindanao for a second time. My first visit was in May 2012, which was my very first trip abroad as JICA's new President. Since then, I have been fully committed to supporting the peace process and the socio-economic development of this region.
On March 7, 2015, a colleague of mine, JICA Vice President Toshiyuki Kuroyanagi was here to celebrate the first day of construction of this two-classroom school building at Kibleg Elementary School. This two-classroom was financed through a Quick Impact Project, or QIP, which is a small scale, low-cost project implemented in a short period of time that addresses immediate community needs. Working with local communities throughout the region, we also supported the construction of a number of other facilities through QIPs. We collaborated in building multi-purpose halls and warehouses with solar dryer in 20 sites in the provinces of Maguindanao, Cotabato, Lanao del Sur, Lanao del Norte, Basilan, Sulu, Tawi-Tawi, Sarangani, Sultan Kudarat, Compostela Valley, Davao Oriental and Zamboanga Sibugay. These communities were chosen because they are among the most affected by conflict.
Why did we choose QIPs to implement these projects? Both JICA and our MILF counterparts believed that QIPs would be a great way for Bangsamoro communities to feel immediate peace dividends. For people to remain hopeful about the benefits of the peace process and continue to support it, they need to be assured that the Comprehensive Agreement on Bangsamoro will bring improvements in their lives. QIPs reap tangible results quickly and allow communities, particularly hard to reach ones, to get back on their feet. That is why, when I met with MILF Chair Ebrahim Murad soon after the signing of the Agreement, we agreed to conduct QIPs.
QIPs are just one element of our broader approach in the region. In 2013, the Bangsamoro Transition Commission and JICA started the Comprehensive Capacity Development Program for the Bangsamoro. The cooperation activities include 1) assistance in public consultations for drafting a Bangsamoro Basic Law, 2) support in drafting a Bangsamoro Development Plan, 3) Human Resource Development, 4) capacity building seminars in Tokyo to learn more about Japan's political system and governance, and, of course, 5) the implementation of the Quick Impact Projects.
In the past 17 years, the peace negotiation had experienced several challenges, including the breakdown of the MOA-AD in 2008, the Mamasapano incident earlier this year and the prolonged deliberations on the Bangsamoro Basic Law. However, the Japanese Government and JICA have remained steadfast in their commitment to supporting the peace process and promote development in the Bangsamoro area. When I met with President Benigno Aquino last June during his State Visit to Japan and with Chair Ebrahim Murad when he came to Japan, I reiterated our pledge of support and discussed further cooperation.
Today, after 4 months of construction, I am very glad and honored to be with you as we hand over this newly constructed school building to Kibleg Elementary School. We all know the importance of a good education. In addition to having qualified and passionate teachers, studying in an environment that is conducive to learning is the key to a quality education. With these new classrooms, more children in the communities will have access to basic education.
Who are the students who will be using the new classrooms? Please raise your hand. Masaya ba kayo sa bagong classroom? (Are you happy with your new classrooms?)
Nag-aaral ba kayo ng mabuti? (Are you studying hard?)
You all have a very bright future ahead of you. Please study hard and listen to your teachers. Your parents always tell you that education is one of the greatest things that they can give you. I fully agree with them. Education is something that no one else can take away from you. Education will pave the way for your personal growth and will help you achieve a brighter future.
Let us all work together for a better future and lasting peace in the Bangsamoro. Know that JICA will remain true to its resolution of promoting peace and further strengthening our support in this region.
Shukran and maraming salamat.

Acceptance Speech
![sample acceptance speech for turnover ceremony sample acceptance speech for turnover ceremony](https://images.examples.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/ACCEPTANcE.png)
Being recognized or awarded is one of the best feelings in the world. It gives us the feeling of being overwhelmed with so much gratitude and that we would also want to share our achievement with people who helped in the sidelines. One way of giving back and showing sincere gratitude is through acceptance speeches. The heart of every acceptance speech is gratitude. Acceptance speeches are also a way of acknowledging people who helped the recipient of the award or the recognition in acquiring all his or her achievements.

What Is an Acceptance Speech?
An acceptance speech is a speech with an aim to simply express gratitude after receiving a recognition or an award.
10 Tips for Writing an Award-Winning Acceptance Speech
We all know that acceptance speeches are often delivered after receiving an award but it does not mean that your acceptance speech shouldn’t be award-winning either. Here are ten steps on how to make and deliver an acceptance speech that can even make you earn another award if there is a contest for acceptance speeches:
1. Know Your Time Limit.
If you already know what award you will be receiving, you have to make sure that you asked about the duration of the entire awarding ceremony before starting your speech . In that way, you would know your time limit for your speech. You have to make sure that your speech would fit the given time frame in order to make sure that it does not exceed and make unnecessary changes in the program just because your speech was too long.
3. Acknowledge All that Has to be Acknowledged
It’s only right that you should recognize the people who have helped you in the sidelines. Most people would acknowledge their family, friends, and colleagues but this is too common; acknowledge the people who, even with their small contribution has made a great impact in helping you achieve your smart goals and successes.
4. K.I.S.S. and Brevity.
Most of the awarding ceremonies would often take 2-3 hours and oftentimes, there are a lot of people to be given an award and you may also add the myriad of performances and presentations in between. If you would have a speech with a length of more than five minutes for a single award or recognition, you will be taking too much of the awarding ceremony’s time and you have to keep in mind that you are not the only person to be awarded or given with a recognition. That is why you have to maintain the brevity, or keep your acceptance speech short and simple or else it will bore your audience and you would be taking too much time from the allotted time duration of the awarding ceremony.
If you are a natural entertainer, then make good use of this in your acceptance speeches. Awarding ceremonies can be boring and it is only in ad-libs from hosts or emcees and speeches by awardees that a ceremony can be on the light side. But caution: do not focus solely on making your speech humorous or else your focus would stray away from what your acceptance speech is actually about and that is your expression of gratitude.
6. Tell a Story.
If you have found a difficulty in making your audience laugh, you can always tell a story. Good storytellers, without humor, can always entertain its audience. You can always share your struggles and mini-successes as you make your way to your main goal. In this way, you can actually inspire people who may actually share the same path and struggles as yours. People would always want to have a company in their miseries.
7. Do Not Bring Notes.
Aside from the fact that reading our acceptance speech on pieces of small notes would not make a good impression, memorizing and familiarizing our own speech can somehow improve or establish our credibility. Memorizing our own speech would also help us gain confidence in delivering the speech.
8. Always End with a Bang
If you want to make a great impact on your audience, always end your acceptance speech with a bang. You can summarize and condense the groups of people who helped you but this is not anymore necessary. What’s necessary is that you would make a statement that would give you a solid impression. One sign that you would be making a good impression is that you whatever you said in your speech, even if it is in the introduction, will be remembered by the audience. Although it is not necessary to end with a bang, it would actually make you feel good other than receiving the award or the recognition.
9. Speak From the Heart
Even if it is good to memorize our speech, sometimes it is only best that we would familiarize our acceptance speech so we that we will have a chance to speak from the heart. Memorizing would sometimes make us sound robotic as if we’re reading something, but if we familiarize and just speak form the heart, we actually become genuine in all the words and in the expression of our gratitude and honest appreciation to all the people we are acknowledging.
10. Make The Fact Clear that this Is Not Just About You
You should always make it clear that if ever there were people who helped you along the way, you should always and also acknowledge them and let them share your achievements. Always be humble but do not be overly modest to the point that you would sound fake and just act for the sake of trying to look down to earth. But that does not mean you could not be proud of the people who helped you along the way; again, remember to acknowledge their contributions, no matter how big or small that contribution is.

3 Simple Ways in Writing an Award-Winning Acceptance Speech
If you already know that you would be recognized and awarded, you should always prepare your acceptance speech beforehand. Unless you’re eloquent and confident enought that you would be able to ace an imprompty acceptance speech, then you may go ahead and skip the following list. But if you feel like you would still need to work on your writing your speech, then read this:
1. Make an Outline
Always start any writing composition with an outline. The outline will serve as your guide through out your writing process. This will give you direction. Make sure that in your oultine, you will have the parts of your speech as headers and right below the headers or the major parts of your speech are the ideas that you would want that part to contain with.
2. List Down the People You Would Want to Thank and Acknowledge
List down all the possible names of people and groups or organization that you would want to share your recognition or award so that you would not have a difficulty in remembering them when you would actually be already delivering your speech. You wouldn’t want to get any chances of being a person who shows no gratitude if ever you would forget to thank even one person or group of people, right?
3. Be Sincere and Genuine
Remember that the heart of every acceptance speech is gratitude and we all know that gratitude should always be sincere and genuine. It is not real gratitude if you would be all fake in your expression of thanks. It does not take a million to be genuine in thanking people that you should really be thanking. Always make sure that you have recognized every effort made by the people who helped you along the way and make sure that in thanking them, you sincerely and truly do.

Acceptance speech at the turn-over ceremony for the commissioner of customs.
Acceptance Speech at the Turn-over Ceremony for the Commissioner of Customs
April 24, 2015 / Social Hall, Port of Manila, Bureau of Customs
Thank you very much for that kind introduction.
Magandang umaga po sa inyong lahat.
Una, nais ko ho munang magpasalamat kay Commissioner Sunny Sevilla sa malaking sakripisyo na kanilang inialay para sa bayan. Naantig ako sa sinabi niya kahapon: “Ang paglilingkod sa bayan ang pinakamalaking karangalan sa buhay ko.” Truly, as Secretary Cesar says, I have big shoes to fill, and I intend to carry on the good governance and process reforms he has started.
Being here brings me to some kind of sentimental journey. In the years that intervened between my previous stint here to now, I have built a company that is now seen as a leader in logistics nationwide. This has given me much experience and perspective. Further, as a keen observer of Customs, from the outside looking in, I have many ideas I think will make our processes more efficient and systematic. I agree when Commissioner Sevilla says, “Reform is not glamorous. Reform is in the little every day improvements that we can give the public.” Now that I am here, I believe my extensive experience in the private sector will be tested: the primary task assigned to us is not easy, with the end in view of increasing efficiency and improved revenue generation.
But I assure the Honorable Secretary of Finance, Cesar Purisima, who is with us in attendance that, with innovation and determination, we can double down on our reforms and further improve on the impressive change story happening here at Customs.
I would like to focus on an even bigger challenge- ASEAN INTEGRATION. This is no longer just a concept, it is already a reality. This initiative is expected to increase trade and economic activity with our ASEAN neighbors. It is imperative that we ask ourselves if we are prepared for this impending expansion. We have no other recourse. We must be ready. It is time to engage our “bosses” in an environment revitalized with the spirit of true and efficient service.
The question is – “How do we prepare ourselves?” While I need to evaluate the lay of the land, here are five general principles for reform that I have in mind:
1. Inculcate Integrity in our Work Ethic
President Aquino’s mandate of “Daang Matuwid” will be the foundation of all our actions. It will be the be-all and end-all of all our efforts. Honesty and integrity will be further inculcated in our work attitude. The use of appropriate technology in our day to day operations and the conduct of regular performance reviews will aid us in this effort.
2. Level the Playing Field
We shall level the playing field even more by ensuring fair, efficient, speedy, and hospitable services. A positive image should be the first, continuing, and lasting impression that our clients must carry with them. A happy and satisfied customer always comes back.
3. Battling Corruption
Corruption is one of the biggest impediments to economic growth and prosperity in the country. We must battle this with a combination of factors – increased awareness, appropriate technology, and resolute action on violators. We will continue to be as transparent with our data. We will light up the darkest corners where this malady lingers. We will not abandon the campaign to eliminate it. In fact, we will expand it and pursue the campaign with more determination.
We are not alone in this struggle. Integrity campaigns are spreading all over the world. It is not only a global buzzword: it will continue to be a centrepiece of our work philosophy here in the Bureau of Customs.
4. Port Congestion
We will continue to decongest our ports and improve our systemic interventions adapting to a growing economy getting busier every season.
We will rally all stakeholders in this collaborative effort. We will involve other stakeholders in this effort such as, the importers, exporters, forwarders, customs brokers, shipping lines, port owners, port users, trucking companies and all involved in the supply chain. Aside from these, we shall draw the support of regulatory agencies such as the Local Government Units, the Metro Manila Development Authority, the Philippine Ports Authority, The Department of Public Ways and Highways, The Philippine National Police and other institutions whose actions are necessary to achieve this goal.
Sumabay tayo sa takbo ng mundo…huwag tayong maghintay…hindi dapat nahuhuli ang Pilipinas sa pagbabago.
5. Performance management
The optimum performance of each and every officer and employee will be the hallmark of our organisation. While success could be considered its own reward, meritorious performance will also be recognised and appropriate rewards will be made available to the deserving.
Internal management audits will be introduced to help guide our employees in the attainment of their key result areas. The audit exercise will be the very instrument that will help us identify the problems and provide the solutions to correct mistakes or oversights and how to avoid the same.
We must transform the Bureau into a proactive organisation. It should anticipate local and global changes and always be ready to confront the challenges that come with it. We must be consistent and reliable partner of industry.
Our time together at the Bureau of Customs may be short. We will have to hit the ground running. We will move faster than usual. Speed, integrity, and efficiency will be our trademarks.
The challenge is on all of us. We will have to work even more closely with each other.
My friends, I would like you to know that I consider my appointment or “re-appointment” to the Bureau as a rare privilege and another opportunity to serve the country. I only thank our beloved President Aquino, and Secretary Purisima for the trust and confidence they have reposed on me.
We will repay that confidence by delivering real, measurable results.
Many have asked why I chose to accept this challenge. My answer… Love of country. At this stage of my life, it is time to give back.
Those who know me, know what that statement means and what it truly entails. Hard work, long hours we are willing to endure. And the personal sacrifices and comforts that we are willing to forego to get the job done.
My wife, Sylvia, my children, my family, my former business partners and my closest friends are aware of this. Yes, many of them have expressed deep concern for my welfare but assure me of their willingness to support me when the going gets rough. They caution me in my ways and warn me of the multifarious problems that may come my way. They even ask me to SMILE more often.
I am deeply touched by their concern and their expressions of support and love. To them I extend my deepest sense of gratitude.
But let me assure them that I am aware of the obstacles and what it needs to get the job done right. After all, this is not my first time to work in the Bureau of Customs.
And what is my real motivation? Where lies our happiness in all these?
You and I will together draw courage, determination and inspiration and joy with the knowledge that every peso collected will help bring more smiles on the faces of the poor and underprivileged, and enliven the hopes and confidence fellow Filipinos in a brighter future that awaits them.
We will be working not just for the Bureau of Customs, we will work hard for the people of this beloved country we call our home.
With all of you as partners, I know that our aspirations and dreams can indeed become reality.
Maraming salamat po sa inyong lahat. Mabuhay po kayo! Mabuhay ang BOC. Mabuhay ang Pilipinas.

Statement by Dr. Kamal Kharrazi, Minister for Foreign Affairs, of the Islamic Republic of Iran at the Turn-over Ceremony of the Chairmanship of the Group of 77
New York, 11 January 2002
In the name of God, the Compassionate , the Merciful
Mr. President, Mr. Secretary-General, Mr. Administrator, Ladies and Gentlemen,
A year ago, on January 12, 2001, in a similar occasion in this very hall the Islamic Republic of Iran was honoured by the Group of 77 with the mantle and the mandate of its one-year chairmanship. We accepted that great honour with a deep sense of pride and humility and equally with a sense of determination to serve the common interests of the developing community. Today, at the end of the journey we trekked along together, we are here to hand over the helm and the torch to its next bearer, the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. And it is indeed a distinct honour for this solemn occasion, for myself and my colleagues, to have the presence of President Hugo Chavez amongst us.
Distinguished Colleagues,
When Iran was elected in September 2000 to chair the Group of 77 in the year 2001, given the circumstances around the question of the follow-up to the South Summit outcome, I emphasized the importance of a number of overriding considerations. It was underlined, inter alia, that at the first ever Summit of the developing world, our Heads of State and Government reaffirmed our commitment to the principles and objectives that have guided the Group from the start as well as to the strengthening of its unity and solidarity in pursuit of its declared objectives. From our point of view, the most important challenge facing the Group at the time revolved around the question of how to proceed with the implementation of the Summit outcome. It was further asserted that the all Group's undertakings towards the follow-up and implementation of the Havana outcome, inclusive of the Programme of Action and its Institutional Follow-up and the Other Decisions, should by necessity and as a matter of priority comply with and be guided by the principles and objectives of the Group. The centrality of decision-making through consensus as a well-established and much cherished practice and time-honoured tradition of the Group was also underscored. It was as well reckoned that the future of the Group of 77 - as the sole universal intergovernmental voice of the South in pursuit of development - and the successful pursuit of the long-term interests of the Group and its members, big and small, depended on sincere and faithful respect for openness, participation and consensus as the fundamental overarching working principles of the Group. Moreover, I reaffirmed the full commitment of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the principles and objectives of the Group and as well as to endeavour in earnest during its term of office to uphold and promote them. The same overriding concerns and considerations were reiterated, once more, in our statement last January at the turn-over ceremony.
That was how we looked at the Group of 77 and its unique status and role and the challenges confronting it. Having myself served as the Permanent Representative here in New York a few years back and also having observed the work of the Group close up for a number of years, we knew it was quite a challenge to brace for the Group's chairmanship; and more so, to be able to deliver, and deliver good. We decided, nevertheless, to rise to the challenge, without hidden agenda or grandiose schemes. Now, here we stand, at the end of the one-year journey. Speaking before this august assembly just a few minutes away from saying farewell to all of you, I find myself in a position to affirm, with confidence and of course with a sense of satisfaction, that the Iranian chairmanship has endeavoured, in good faith and to the best of its ability, to remain faithful to its commitments and to uphold, in practice, the established, time-honoured principles of the Group and to strive towards their further promotion and consolidation as well as towards achieving the objectives of the Group.
As I alluded in my statement at the Annual Ministerial Meeting back in mid-November, it is not easy at all to present a comprehensive report on the activities, endeavours, and achievements of the Group, and its chairmanship, in a single statement. As you all know, much better than me, the Group of 77 has had an extremely full plate this year, a number of major conferences and special sessions, here at the United Nations Headquarters and elsewhere, not to mention numerous regular meetings of a large number of intergovernmental bodies and the major part of the 56th Session of the General Assembly. All of you have been directly involved in all the activities of the Group and the travail and the exertions of the Chairman and his team of experts. Before going any further, I should take this opportunity to express, on my own behalf as well as on behalf of the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran, our deepest and most sincere gratitude and appreciation for the support you have given Ambassador Bagher Asadi and his team, enabling him and his colleagues to lead and represent the Group of 77 and China in all those meetings and conferences. I am fully aware of the excellent, dynamic, mutually trusting and truly functional relations between our team and the Group in its entirety, and of course, of their performance throughout the year - of which we are proud.
This farewell statement, cannot, by definition, be an exercise in substantive discussion or argumentation. On the Group's analysis and positions on major global and development issues and challenges we face, including the still unfolding globalization process, we have the Havana Declaration and Programme of Action, and such more recent documents as the Tehran Consensus on South-South cooperation. The Ministerial Communique which was adopted less than two months ago also addresses the most prominent issues, processes and challenges before us. Equally important are so many statements that have been prepared in the most transparent manner and delivered on behalf of the Group during the past year on all the issues and processes the Group has had to tackle. They are live documents and reflect the state of the art analysis, positions and demands of the Group. Moreover, the outcome of all those activities is physically captured in documents of all sorts, which, I am sure, G-77 experts will continue to devour for inspiration and knowledge, for the next round of negotiations - and no doubt for polemics. The full text of this statement is distributed; I read a shortened version only. Even if the full text were much longer and more detailed, I have to admit, it could have hardly captured the expanse, depth, richness or the diversity - much less the actual dynamics and drama - of the activities we have collectively gone through during the past year. What I intend to venture instead is to reflect on a collective experience, particularly from the vantage point of what it portends for the future of the Group, and needless to say, in so far as the principles and objectives of the Group are concerned - as I alluded to a while earlier.
Looking back, I can say that the Group of 77 and China in the year 2001 actively participated in more areas and fields, and more so, in a substantive manner. Active and proactive engagement in all phases of the work of sessions and processes, including at the level of articulating the common positions of the Group, whether in the form of a general statement or preparation and presentation of positions papers and negotiating texts, are among the hallmarks of the work performed. This approach and performance was the case on all issues and in meetings and processes, in New York and elsewhere. However, it deserves to mention a few areas such as the Financing for Development (FfD); climate change and the Kyoto Protocol; International Environmental Governance (IEG); World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD); Least Developed Countries Conference; Habitat Conference; desertification; forests; the issue of Human Resources Management; the programme budget for the biennium 2002-2003; and the operational activities for development.
Apart from active participation and engagement, as the necessary condition for a meaningful engagement of the South in the work of the United Nations and multilateral processes, we undertook during our chairmanship to lead and represent the developing community as a credible negotiating force and partner. It has been our considered view - as an active member of the Group of 77 before and particularly during the chairmanship - that the Group of 77 is neither a poor man's charity-seeking club nor merely a long catalogue of demands and wish lists - legitimate as they might be in the eyes of the developing community itself. Rather, to pay homage to the vision of late Raul Prebisch almost four decades ago when the Group was founded, developing countries constitute a potent force with "a concept of life and human values" which can make a valuable contribution to the common enterprise of the global community inclusive of everybody on both sides of the development divide. And also, on that basis, the South can act as a dynamic, united force - despite its beautiful diversity and quite numerous and varied constituencies. Furthermore, that it can, as a consequence, perform as a relevant and engaged negotiating partner - with the inevitable openness and flexibility albeit in a principled manner. At a more conceptual level, our approach, I have to add, was premised on the concept of dialogue and the need for mutual understanding as the prerequisite for meaningful interaction and fruitful, result-oriented negotiation. And of course, it should not come to you as a surprise that the concept and paradigm of the Dialogue among Civilizations - as proposed and pursued by President Khatami and supported by the Secretary-General and the United Nations - has inspired and nourished our approach and actual conduct while chairing the Group.
Having laid out these overall considerations - far from being exhaustive, though - let me now move from the conceptual level to the rather practical work on the ground. On the basis of the approach and conduct just outlined, I stand here as a witness that the Group of 77 now enjoys a more respected status and a stronger position and negotiating clout as the representative of the developing community, here at the United Nations and equally in other multilateral processes in which the Group has been engaged. This is not just our positive judgment - prejudicial as it might somehow be considered - rather, it is the kind of message that we have been receiving from others, both within the ranks of the developing community and also from a wide range of quarters - even unlikely quarters - among developed negotiating partners. And this is not just limited to the Bonn meeting in late July and the Marrakech Conference where the fate of the embattled Kyoto Protocol and the ultimate achievement of consensus on its ratification came from the extremely positive and equally detrimental role played by the Group of 77. A similar conduct and performance by the Group and its chairmanship in quite a number of areas and processes has received widespread recognition. The whole point here is that we believed all along that the Group of 77 - the South - should make a difference in actual terms in the course of negotiations on multilateral issues and processes. And now we can attest that it has approached that status and position - thanks to the dedication and hard work of our team and the full, generous and reassuring support they have received from the Group of 77 and China in its entirety. Yes, we are pleased with what has been brought to the table this year, and we are truly humbled by the expressions of support. But, let me hasten to add, a word of caution; that what has been achieved is just a beginning, and certainly, no cause for celebration, much less for complacency.
Having been convinced of the Group's tremendous potentials, we assumed the chairmanship with the goal, inter alia, of helping it realize, to the degree possible within the existing institutional constraints, of such potentials. We, therefore, undertook to facilitate the Group's active, meaningful engagement in the actual negotiation in a manner commensurate with its true weight and stature. This very forcefulness, while bearing clear substantive as well as political gains, has also been quite catalytic for the internal relations within the Group. It has as well taught us a unique, valuable lesson; that a higher level of mutual understanding and consequent internal cohesion is achievable through confronting challenging situations and overcoming internal centrifugal currents - most notably as was the case in the Bonn meeting on the fate of the Kyoto Protocol and in the Second Committee on the follow-up to the LDCs Conference. With the benefit of hindsight, one could discern that these challenging situations reflect the real parameters of internal cohesion and unity of the Group, thus requiring a well-nuanced, dynamic understanding of and approach to the rather particular concerns and interests of our varied constituencies. Judging from actual experience, I can nevertheless tell you that we leave this chairmanship very happy with the level of internal cohesion and unity that the Group has achieved as a result of active and proactive engagement in difficult processes involving internal discussion and even dissention.
This brings me to the question of the follow-up and the implementation of the final outcome of the South Summit, the crux of which finally boils down to the familiar questions of internal cohesion, consensus, participation and finally, the unity of the Group. Having followed with keen, personal interest this aspect of the work of the Group, I am indeed very pleased with the work of the Ad-hoc open-ended Working Group of the Group of 77 during the year 2001, as presented to the Twenty-fifth Annual Meeting of the Foreign Ministers of the Group of 77 on 16 November 2001. The Working Group, as clearly indicated in various statements from the floor during the Ministerial Meeting and also as reflected in the Ministerial Communique, has proved its extreme usefulness and efficacy towards the operationalization of the provisions of the Havana Programme of Action. Its record of work this past year, particularly in the actual implementation of various provisions and measures of this Programme of Action, is very positive and encouraging. Within this framework, I find very reassuring the deliberations and recommendations of the Working Group's final meeting in mid-December, particularly the recommendations calling for the Working Group to continue its work, including with respect to the comprehensive examination of the content of the final report of the Group of five Heads of State and Government.
Closely related to the continued work of the Working Group is the question of the institutional strengthening of the Group of 77 - as provided in Section VI of the Havana Programme of Action (Institutional Follow-up). Taking into consideration all the deliberations within the Group, at all levels, inclusive of communications at the level of Heads of State and Government, with respect to the actual follow-up of the Second Decision of the Other Decisions of the South Summit, it should be evident to all of us that the mainstream of the Group of 77 is in a position to fully support the implementation of the provisions of the Institutional Follow-up in a forceful and expeditious manner, and not other un-negotiated proposals. As reflected in various paragraphs of the Section in question, there are two distinct and yet functionally related aspects involved; institutional strengthening of the Office of the Chairman of the Group of 77 in New York and strengthening of coordination between New York and the Chapters of the Group. As I am informed, practical, tangible progress was made during the year 2001 in the area of coordination. However, it needs to be further addressed and followed in earnest. An optimal utilization of the potentials of the Group of 77 both here in New York and in the Chapters remains dependent on and subject to the institutional strengthening of the Office of the Chairman in New York and its conversion into a compact executive secretariat - as recommended by the Havana Programme of Action.
On the perennial question of unity and solidarity, I would like to share with you another considered observation. The achievements of the Group of 77 in the year 2001, here in New York as well as in all other processes elsewhere, proved, once and hopefully for all, that New York is the center of gravity of the Group of 77. Here is where the heart of the developing world beats and here is where universal participation of the membership of the Group of 77 finds a practical, tangible and forceful meaning. And that's exactly why there is so much genuine support within the Group for the institutional strengthening of the Office of the Chairman of the Group of 77 in New York. This center of gravity is irreplaceable, its undermining, under whatever guise, should be unacceptable. Grandiose ideas aside, real articulation of well-thought-out proposals and measures, particularly to be practicable and do-able, require sober expert analysis and scrutiny. History and shared experiences tell us that it is exactly through expert deliberations and negotiations - painstaking and even exasperating as they may prove to be - that the Group has managed to arrive at hard-won consensual analyses and positions which have shaped and formed all our documents - the very solid basis for the Group's unity, sense of purpose and direction. Let us be very clear on this point that the unity and solidarity of the Group is the very raison d'etre of its existence and that is where its real strength lies; departure from which will not but weaken the position of the Group as a whole, its mission and its individual members. All of us and each one of us should therefore undertake to lend our helping hands to make sure that the Group and its institutions are strengthened towards a better, fuller performance and delivery. No member of the developing community, no matter how well-intentioned, should be found wanting in this enterprise - even inadvertently. On the major on-going processes before the Group this year, as you may recall, at the Ministerial Meeting in November I paid particular attention first to the Financing for Development and then to the World Summit on Sustainable Development. I reiterate the same approach and analysis in both cases and emphasize, once more, the imperative of the Group's full-fledged, active continued participation in order to ensure their success and substantive outcome. With the Secretary-General with us here, I would nevertheless feel tempted to seize the moment to underline, once more, the historical significance of the Monterrey Conference for the whole international community and for the future of multilateralism and effective, meaningful international cooperation for development. It is a fact that this process is so close to our heart in the South and we have invested in it so much and for so long - for over two decades - and, for obvious reasons, we have very high expectations. I would like to renew the plea I made to the Secretary-General on this process back in November and thank him sincerely for all he has done so far. On a related point, let me further emphasize that FfD and WSSD processes are running on separate, independent tracks and are not linked in a substantive manner. However, it so appears to us in the South that achievement of a genuine, substantive outcome on Financing for Development will pave the way for meaningful progress in the area of sustainable development. As I underlined in mid-November at the Ministerial Meeting, international cooperation should take place across the board and not just in the area of peace and security. Failure in Monterrey, it should be clear to everybody, cannot but inevitably lead to another failure in Johannesburg. And the international community in its entirety, inclusive of the United Nations and the person of the Secretary-General, should make every effort to preclude such an eventuality.
Before concluding, I turn to the question of responsibility for development. I have addressed this issue previously on a number of occasions, even before Iran's chairmanship, but as recently as in the statement at the Ministerial Meeting in mid-November. Our analysis of and approach to the all-important questions of multilateralism, international cooperation for development and North-South relations are fully known to the Group and adequately reflected in my previous statements. Let me echo the words of President Khatami in his message to the IFCC-X in Tehran last August, that "development for us, genuine, long-term comprehensive development, cannot but start in our midst, by ourselves in our respective societies and through ourselves." While addressing the implementation of the provisions of the Havana Porogramme of Action, President Khatami emphasized in the same message the elements of realism, objectivity, future-looking determination, creativity and a certain degree of boldness. Here, I would like to attach particular importance to the element of boldness in our understanding within the Group, henceforth, of the concept of development in its broad, dynamic and ever-evolving sense and how we undertake to achieve development, individually and collectively, including in terms of our expectations from ourselves and from others. We need to start asking ourselves a number of probing questions, and quite major questions at that. More importantly, we need to start telling ourselves that it is not enough to lament the unacceptability of the situation in our respective societies and in the developing world in general. We, ourselves, have to undertake to change it. There is nobody out there to do it for us. With the helm being now transferred to Venezuela; another committed, active member of the Group of 77 with a long record of service to the Group, I remain confident that a year full of success awaits us. It is with great hope and enthusiastic anticipation that we look forward to the future - this year and years ahead - to be guided, as in the past, by the cherished principles of the Group in all our common endeavours and enterprises. And with you Mr. President, so committed and enthusiastic about the work of our dear Group of 77, with Minister Davila, Ambassador Alcalay and his colleagues, we rest assured that the principles of unity and solidarity, participation, transparency and consensus will be guarded as jealously in the future as they have been in the past.
Dear Colleagues,
The text of my two previous statements during our chairmanship before the Group of 77 are annexed to the full text of the present statement, all constituting an integral whole. This provides the Group with a rather complete picture of where we have stood on important issues, processes and challenges before the Group, and also making it possible for the present statement to remain as brief as it could have been.
And in conclusion, I register my special thanks to Mr. Mourad Ahmia, Executive Secretary of the Office of the Chairman and also to Mr. Arturo Lozano and Mr. Rafiq Alamkhan, for their dedication and untiring efforts and invaluable assistance to the Chairman and his team, and also to other colleagues from the UN Secretariat who have helped the Office of the Chairman throughout the year. This Office deserves to be strengthened.
These are my very last words with you. Let me say adios to you, along with Ambassador Asadi, and wish you and the Group of 77 and China the best of success in the year 2002 and beyond in our common unending quest for development, peace and security and a humane world order with justice and equity for all.

When you win an award or honor, it's traditional to share a few words. Writing an acceptance speech can be challenging, so it helps to brainstorm and prepare in advance. You should open your speech with a brief introduction of gratitude, move on to thanking your benefactors, and conclude your speech with some inspiration and optimism. This is your time to shine, but showing humility will leave your audience feeling truly pleased for you and your success.
Brainstorming Ideas
![sample acceptance speech for turnover ceremony Step 1 Make a list of reasons you're thankful for receiving the award or honor.](https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/fe/Write-an-Acceptance-Speech-Step-1-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Write-an-Acceptance-Speech-Step-1-Version-2.jpg)
- After you make an initial list of people you want to thank, walk away and come back to the list later. There might be people you forgot to include that you'll remember at a later time.
- If you're worried about leaving someone important out of your speech, ask a close friend or coworker to help with your list. They might think of someone you forgot to include.
![sample acceptance speech for turnover ceremony Step 3 Read other acceptance speeches for inspiration.](https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/6f/Write-an-Acceptance-Speech-Step-3-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Write-an-Acceptance-Speech-Step-3-Version-2.jpg)
- For example, if you're receiving an award for your volunteer work, try searching “volunteer award acceptance speeches” in a search engine. If you're referencing speeches in a physical book, try to find a book that has the speeches organized by award type.
Writing Your Speech
![sample acceptance speech for turnover ceremony Step 1 Write a brief introduction.](https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/a/a8/Write-an-Acceptance-Speech-Step-4-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Write-an-Acceptance-Speech-Step-4-Version-2.jpg)
- For example, you could write “I am so honored to be standing here today to receive this community leadership award. Serving my community has been a joy and a privilege that I am grateful for every single day. I wouldn't be able to do it if it weren't for all the amazing people in this city."
![sample acceptance speech for turnover ceremony Step 2 Write the body of your speech, focusing on the people you want to thank.](https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/50/Write-an-Acceptance-Speech-Step-5-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Write-an-Acceptance-Speech-Step-5-Version-2.jpg)
- You don't have to say someone's name to show you're thankful for them. For example, instead of thanking all of your coworkers individually, you could say “I can't express enough how grateful I am for all of my amazing colleagues.”
- You can thank the members of the organization giving you the award without listing off their names by saying something like “Thank you so much to the team at the New York Nonprofit Conference for recognizing me with this incredible award.”
![sample acceptance speech for turnover ceremony Step 4 Be careful using your speech as a platform.](https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/5a/Write-an-Acceptance-Speech-Step-7-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Write-an-Acceptance-Speech-Step-7-Version-2.jpg)
- For example, if you're winning an award in recognition of your volunteer work with kids, you could mention how you think more work needs to be done to combat childhood illiteracy.
- Don't use your acceptance speech as a time to rant about your political viewpoints or talk heatedly about a controversial topic (unless it's directly connected to the award you're receiving). You'll likely alienate members of the audience and upset the organization that gave you the award.
![sample acceptance speech for turnover ceremony Step 5 Conclude your speech on a positive note.](https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/8/86/Write-an-Acceptance-Speech-Step-8-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Write-an-Acceptance-Speech-Step-8-Version-2.jpg)
Rehearsing Your Speech
![sample acceptance speech for turnover ceremony Step 1 Read your speech out loud.](https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/99/Write-an-Acceptance-Speech-Step-9.jpg/v4-460px-Write-an-Acceptance-Speech-Step-9.jpg)
- If there's someone mentioned in your speech that can't attend the event, invite them to practice with you. That way they get to hear your speech and you have someone to give you pointers.
![sample acceptance speech for turnover ceremony Step 3 Record yourself reading your speech.](https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/0/0d/Write-an-Acceptance-Speech-Step-11.jpg/v4-460px-Write-an-Acceptance-Speech-Step-11.jpg)
- Notice how your voice sounds. Make sure you're speaking loud enough and that what you're saying is clear and understandable.
![sample acceptance speech for turnover ceremony Step 4 Use a timer to monitor the length of your speech.](https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/a/a9/Write-an-Acceptance-Speech-Step-12.jpg/v4-460px-Write-an-Acceptance-Speech-Step-12.jpg)

To write an acceptance speech, start with a brief introduction that expresses your gratitude and makes a connection with your audience. Then, in the body of your speech, focus on the people that you want to thank. Try to avoid thanking too many people so your audience doesn't grow impatient by sticking with the people directly involved with the award and your immediate support system. Finally, conclude your acceptance speech on a brief, positive note and thank the audience one last time. To learn how to rehearse an acceptance speech, scroll down! Did this summary help you? Yes No

Guide to Induction and Turnover Ceremonies
Induction season is in full swing! Be sure to read this guide to ensure that you observe the proper protocols during your local organization’s induction.
The Induction and Turnover Ceremonies is usually one of bigger (if not the biggest) event of a local organization. There are a lot of protocols to be observed.
We included:
- Induction Script and Flow (with notes)
- the recommended venue arrangement and presidential table seat plan
- Common mispronounced names and words
May these documents guide you in the preparation of your Induction and Turnover Ceremonies!
Feel free to ask your Regional Vice Presidents or any Area Execom Member if you have any clarifications.
Why have an Induction and Turnover Ceremony for your Local Organization?
The Induction and Turnover Ceremony is an event that will introduce your 2017 LO President and Board of Directors to the world! It is a good opportunity to invite your members, JCI community, local community, and friends to see the accomplishments of the past year and share the year that is to come. Some local organizations take this opportunity to thank their sponsors and gather more support for the year.
A lot of local organizations make it a formal event. But do not be limited by this. A number of chapters have done their induction and turnover ceremonies after a community event. One JCI Manila president invited St. Mother Theresa of Calcutta as their special guest during their induction in a hospice.

Additional Pointers
1. Invocation – if with invocation or Catholic prayer, no need for JCI Prayer
2. Acknowledgment of guests – on registration, make a list (highlight, or check), easy reading, up to what level to recognize/acknowledge
3. Table seating/arrangement/assignment – ask when in doubt. See the presidential table seating above.
4. Use new induction rite. See the script above.
5. Incoming officers – practice blocking. The outgoing President or the Immediate Past President is included in induction rite.
6. Turnover of gavel (NOT“gay-vel) – add script when PPs turning over (if not memorized)
7. Bang gavel once for outgoing, 3X for incoming
8. For the RVPs and AVPs, DO NOT read the induction rite. The charging and inducting officer should recite it from memory. No printed copies of the Inducting Script. They should say “repeat after me.”
9. Charging and Inducting Officers – the Charging Officer is the current RVP, the Inducting Officer is the current AVP. If they aren’t available, any of the past RVP or past AVP can take their place.
10. Only LOs paid for the 2017 Affiliation fees with JCI Philippines can be scheduled for Induction.
Proper Pronounciation for the Commonly Mispronounced Names and Items:
1. 2017 National President Hegem Furigay
Hegem – /HEE-jhem/
![sample acceptance speech for turnover ceremony 🐝](https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v7/z78/1.5/16/1f41d.png)

![sample acceptance speech for turnover ceremony 👂](https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v7/z23/1.5/16/1f442.png)
3. 2017 Regional Vice President – Metro Rizal – Aine Alvero
Aine – /eyn/ – sounds like gain

Speech during the Turnover Command in the Philippine National Police - Oct. 1, 2007
Maraming salamat, Kalihim Puno, sa iyong pagpakilala. Kagalang-galang na immediate past PNP Director General Oscar Calderon, honorable new Chief PNP incoming Director General Avelino Razon, Jr. or Sonny Razon as we all call him, Secretary Ebdane and the other appointive officials and former chiefs PNP, Excellencies of the Diplomatic Corps, Senator Zubiri and the other elective officials of the Philippine government, supporters of the Philippine National Police who are all here today, friends and family of General Calderon, friends and family of Sonny Razon, ladies and gentlemen.
Una sa lahat, batiin natin lahat ang immediate past chief PNP si Police Director General Oscar Calderon ng isang maligayang kaarawan. . Pinupugay natin siya sa tatlumpu’t walong taong matatag na serbisyo. Sabi nga niya, 34 years, sabi nung iba 34 years and 8 months pero isama natin iyong 4 years sa PMA that’s 39 years, congratulations for a job well done. Si Oca pati na rin si Sonny, inirekomenda ng Police Search Committee a long, long time ago. Si Oca at si Sonny bilang kasunod niya mula pa noong magre-retire si General Aglipay. Alam na natin noon kung ano ang succession upang masigurado ang katatagan ng paglipat ng liderato at iwasan ang paninira ng mga nagkakaribal sa pinakamataas na puwesto ng PNP. Kaya maganda ang paglipat kay Sonny. Naalala ko nga at naalala rin ni General Calderon noong siya ay unang umupo. Inatasan natin sa kanya na manungkulan siya noong isang taon na mamuno sa pakikibaka sa mga rebeldeng komunista gamit ang puwersa ng kapulisan, imbestigasyon at hukuman. At gayon din sa mga sindikato ng krimen na sangkot sa kidnapping, bank robbery, droga, smuggling, jueteng – lalo na ang jueteng ay talagang bilin ng mga Obispo iyon at pang-araw-araw na krimen. At sabi rin ni Oca noon ang ibig niyang gawing kanyang pamana ay ang pabahay.
And so, if we remember what he said and what I said and where we are today, I guess we can all say congratulations, Oca, for a job well done.
Iyong inatas ko kay General Calderon noon, iyon din ang inaatas ko sa kanyang karapat-dapat na kasunod our new Chief PNP, Sonny Razon. But in addition, especially because Sonny was the head of Task Force Usig, I also instruct General Razon to continue to be on top of Task Force Usig except that now he is Chief PNP his perspective must be wider now. It must not only be on police action but the entire criminal justice system. The first report I want to receive from him is an update on arrest, convictions and imprisonment of those responsible for the killings of political activist and journalist. Kung ang pamana ni Oca Calderon ay housing, inaasahan kong ang magiging pamana ni Sonny Razon ay human rights.
We deplore any and all killings of political activist and journalist. I have met personally with the journalism community and the same with the human rights activist, we share their outrage. And to stop the killings we are following the recommendations of our own Melo Commission to establish separate court and that has been done to expedite prosecutions we need to do that and we need a good investigative capability of the PNP to build a good case(?), expand victim assistance for doing that, increase funding for more investigators we have done that. And we have also told our uniformed services and I am glad that Sonny has repeated it, that if there are rogue elements, they must be brought to justice. Our nation has an unfortunate history of political violence by those from the left and the right and we hope to break that cycle, once and for all.
No one should have to die fighting for speaking out for their political beliefs. But let it also be noted that terrorists and the Abu Sayyaf and armed communists are a threat to the sovereignty of the nation and must be checked once and for all. The Abu Sayyaf stand in the way of peace of bringing peace, stability and order to Southern Philippines. As such we have decided we must wipe them out once and for all. They are a menace to peace and a beacon for international thugs who wish to join their ranks. The communist rebels have spent years of a low level threat. It’s time for their disruption and violation of human rights to be put to rest so that the nation can move ahead. They impede the progress and development of a number of rural areas. They are responsible for a wide range of human right abuses. If we are to become a first world country we have to put a stop to their ideological nonsense and their criminal act, once and for all.
Kasama ng pagpigil sa rebelyon ang amnestiya at kabuhayan sa mga rebeldeng ibig bumalik sa panig ng batas. Gusto nating mabilis na itanim ang matibay na kapayapaan at seguridad sa mga rehiyon sa pangunguna ng mga pinunong lokal at relihiyoso at katulong ang buong gobyerno ng bansa kasama na doon ang ating kapulisan.
We guarantee the leftist insurgents willing to turn their guns into plow shares and respect the rule of law another opportunity to regain normal life under Proclamation 1377. The world looks upon the Philippines to continue to reinforce our economic gains with the solid foundation of law and order.
And so, Sonny Razon, should see to it that the war against criminality and terrorism is sustained at the grass root level. And that evil is kept at bay in the streets and in the countryside. I like what you said, that you want every citizen to be only within a certain distance of the nearest policeman. The Human Security Act has helped Oca Calderon in the fight against terrorism. For he has a very (unclear) a chance to test it out and have you not noticed nobody has ever filed any case of abuse against the police for abusing the Human Security Act. The proof of the pudding is in their eating, we have a Human Security Act, we have an anti-terrorism law but we have not use it to violate human rights. Instead, the new law enhances the safety and domestic security of our country by giving us more legal power to prosecute those who commit any act of terror on our people. Our message is clear, if you’re armed and kill civilians you will be prosecuted; if you are a communist terrorist, a religious terrorist or even a rogue element of our own police or military we will stop you. We are empowered by the Human Security Act to crush the terrorist movement in the country and to transform our nation’s response to political violence ensuring that civil right and social justice are available to all Filipinos not just a privilege few
Sonny Razon must strive as ever to keep clean the good name of the police force, to good performance and organizational discipline within the rank. I like the concept of “ Mamang Pulis .” People’s perception of government is in large partly dictated by what they experience on a daily basis. And on a daily basis people experience life with policemen, if they suffer indifference or abuse in the hands of law enforcers they’re likely to harbor negative views of the whole government. But if our policemen response fast to contingencies and are honest and fair, then our citizenry will embrace them, as well as, the entire government as their protectors. Why it is important that the PNP maintains close link with citizen’s groups and I am glad that the citizen’s groups are here, the local government units and I’m glad we have a number of them here and other stakeholders in peace and order.
We ask the new PNP Chief to continue the transformation program of the PNP. So, I like that passing on of the torch ceremony into a better organization that lies at the foundation of our criminal justice system. And we ask him to build the PNP into a bulwark of economic development, social justice and political stability. The PNP is a partner in our war against poverty because we cannot deliver basic social services to the needy and the marginalized sectors without the mantle of peace and order. Law and order lay the ground for economic and social programs to be implemented nationwide deep into the grass roots and without any delay. We cannot have economic advancement and social progress without respect for the rule of law.
Render defective by the constant presence of policemen on the beat by the trust and faith of the community and by the sterling conduct of law enforcer.
The new chief PNP has its new job cut out for him as he himself said, by virtue of his qualifications and experience. And I hope that he will strive to make a difference during his watch. The Filipino people and the world wait upon you. Sonny, I wish you all the best and May God Almighty be with you every step of the way as you lead the PNP towards the bold start under a new leadership. And so, I guess using your own words, congratulation, good luck to you, Mamang Puli s Sonny.
Maraming salamat sa inyong lahat.

Full Transcript: Address of MGEN PEALE JON L BONDOC PA Turnover of Command Ceremony
MGEN PEALE JON L BONDOC PA , the Commander of Army Reserve Command, graced the Turnover of Command Ceremony of the University of the Philippines Diliman Reserve Officers’ Training Corps as Guest of Honor and Speaker through Zoom teleconference last 15 August 2020.
He introduced the plans for the upcoming conduct of ROTC and gave motivations on how Army Leaders can always come up with solutions to problems at hand. Full transcript of his address below.
ADDRESS OF MGEN PEALE JON L BONDOC PA Turnover of Command Ceremony 2020, 15 August 2020 DMST Complex, UP Diliman
So with regards to the ceremony this morning, of course I’d like to congratulate the recently relieved Cadet Colonel Guiao for the leadership that you have exhibited in leading the Corps. The commitment you have for this program is commendable and I hope that you will continue on this path and of course, use the experiences and skill that you have acquired in being the Corps Commander. To the members of your class, I hope that they also treasure moments you have spent in the Corps, the things that you have learned, the people that you have met, and most importantly, the memories that you have gathered in going about your advance ROTC course.
To the incoming or the recently designated Corps Commander, I’m sure this will be a very big challenge for you now that we have a new normal, a new way of doing things. We hope here in ARESCOM that the UP Diliman ROTC, being the premier ROTC Unit of ARESCOM, will sustain the charge and be the inspiration to other ROTC Units, as we embark on the new normal; as we embark [on] a new way of teaching ROTC.
The significance of this change of command of course is a very cherished tradition in the Armed Forces of the Philippines, especially in the Philippine Army. Sabi nga nila, maikli ang ilang taon o isang taon, pero para sa isang commander, ay napakatagal na noon.
Of course, this change of command ceremony always brings into the organization new perspectives and new ideas in going about the missions and tasks given in the duties. This is the significance of this change of command ceremony. This is also a very good signal to infuse new problem solving techniques. Mind you, the tasks that are given to you as a unit, as individuals, are problems that you should solve; and as the new commander, it is expected that you find new ways of approaching the problems that will challenge your organization; new solutions, new approaches. That is precisely the emphasis of the pandemic that we have now.
We must be creative, we must learn new ways. We need to adapt and survive in this new normal. In the Army, we call this Army Problem Solving, and I hope that you’ll be given an insight, a view of how Army commanders solve problems, as I’ve always emphasized when I teach leadership and when I teach military courses, every mission and every task that is given by a Commander is actually a problem that he will solve. And in the Army, we have proven a time-tested phase of approaching problems. And I’m sure that during your advance course, you were given a glimpse or an idea on how Army commanders solve problems, through the troop leading procedures, through the military decision making process, and other things, especially [such as] staff studies and research. These are the approaches to how we solve problems in the Army. And I hope Cadet [Captain] Kho, that you’ll be able to bring, together with his classmates, to create the new approaches – the new ways of solving problems that challenge the UP Diliman ROTC Corps of Cadets and of course the UP Corps of Sponsors.
So of course I hope this brings into light, pag mga ganitong leadership changes, I always look back and reflect on what I’ve learned about the Military Leadership Principles. And katulad nga ng sinasabi ko, especially dun sa mga upcoming new lieutenants, our new leaders in the Army, you just need to go back to the military principles. It will never go wrong. It is time tested, it is applicable illustration, whether solving military problems or even your domestic problems in your home. These principles endure. And I hope that you have learned these in your advance course. And of course for the incoming second class or incoming advance cadets, I’m sure you will be given a lecture on this. I hope that you will imbibe it and appreciate these leadership principles. Ika nga namin sa Army, there are no bad newbies or bad commanders. Bad commanders who ignore the skills of a real leader, who shun the experience of solving problems, who are not up to the task.
I hope you can prepare yourself, [because] it’s not only the DMST staff that will do that, but more importantly, it is your part as individuals. You should endeavor to be a leader in your own right, whether it’s in your family, in your classes, your academic courses, or of course in the Corps of Cadets, [where] leadership is the premium that we put into these training. And the pride of leadership that we always have in the tradition of the UP Vanguard cannot be overemphasized and it is actually the envy of a lot of other institutions – the way we handle leadership training here in the UP System through the Corps of Cadets of the University of the Philippines.
So I hope you are up to the task, Cadet [Captain] Kho and of course to Cadet Colonel Joseph Guiao, I hope that you will cherish those things that you have learned especially in the UP Corps of Cadets.
For this morning, when you invited me to be the Guest of Honor and Speaker to this Turnover Ceremony, I would like to appreciate some of our brods in the UP Vanguard Incorporated. I would like to take this opportunity to announce our new initiatives that we have in Army Reserve Command. And by the way, may I remind you that as graduates of ROTC, you are our reservists so I hope one of these days, we can tap you to volunteer and of course make use of what you learned during your Corps days. Now, speaking of the new initiatives, I was with the new commanding general of the Philippine Army, Lieutenant General Cirilito E. Sobejana, yesterday in his office. And I was briefing him since he assumed the command of the Army… I was briefing him on the Reserve Force Development and interestingly, the Commanding General has [placed] a lot of emphasis in developing our Reserve Forces and mind you, you’re part of that, so I hope that you’ll appreciate it. Of course not now that we have the pandemic, so we really have to be creative. On our part in ARESCOM, we resumed command this March, we conduct[ed] study groups on how to improve disaster response during this pandemic and we want to input a system that will really improve the conduct of the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps, despite the fact that we still need a law to bring back mandatory ROTC in the tertiary or secondary level. I will not delve on the discussion of how mandatory ROTC will be conducted in the near future but let me just give an idea of the result of our focus group discussions here and the inputs from some of our commands. Special mention to Vanguard Toto for his input and some other brods whom I’ve invited here at the quarters of ARESCOM a few months back. They gave suggestions on how to not only revitalize the ROTC program but also to intellectualize ROTC especially now that we live in the pandemic for the meantime. We have sought to revise the program of instruction of the ROTC. And it was revised in such a way that it must be progressive, it must be relevant to the times, it must conform to the new normal. Sad to say, the part of these innovations will really lessen our emphasis on [the] field, [such as] drills and ceremonies. Of course these are things that actually motivate us to join the Corps, but we took note of this, and we have decided to view the ROTC POI in such a way that it must be progressive and it must lead to a regular commission in the Philippine Army.
Part of our strategies also is in response to the growing backlog that we have in the Philippine Army, and so far as recruitment of new soldiers. We have studied for the past decades that the graduates of the advance ROTC program have been having a type, and we are becoming aware of seeing a lot of talents, the best and the brightest, who are products of the advance ROTC program. That is not to say that the products of the other institutions producing lieutenants for the army are not doing good. Of course we have the Philippine Military Academy, we have the Officer Candidate Course under the Officer Candidate School of the Philippine Army who caters to college graduates who have ROTC credits. Part of our study is, we find ROTC cadets who have finished their advance ROTC for them to join the Army Soldier. We are now looking in cooperation with Chairman Prospero De Vera, who’s also a brod by the way. We are now looking into how we can improve the structure of basic ROTC and of course also the advance ROTC. In fact we are now studying the creation of an Associate Degree for National Security. The actual title of the degree is still being worked on right now but we could credit those who will undergo the advance course of ROTC. Hopefully, this is the recommendation of Chairman De Vera. Hopefully we will study this and give it some actions in the near future. All of these efforts contribute to what we call in the ARESCOM now, the revival of the Direct Commission Program. We are also revising the program of instruction of the probationary officer training course which you take after the advance course, by the way, so that it will lead to a regular commission in the Army. Although you have the option to not pursue the regular commission and stay in the Reserve but as we see it, as we move forward, we want all the officers serving in the regular force to be regular officers.
This is very inspiring. Mind you, these are all the things that we want to infuse as we define the new normal, not only in ROTC but also in how we administer our regular forces. Dito ngayon po, I [would] also like to emphasize, the reserve force is supposed to be part of the total force, meaning that what we do in the reserve force development, should be relevant especially now with the Commander in Chief mentioning always the reserve force in being a relevant force in this fight against COVID-19 and in the anti-terrorism effort of the government.
So we are gonna do just that. We want to develop that and alongside for this, we are pushing for the restructuring of our Reserve Units and so far the staff of the Philippine Army has given positive responses to this on our recommendations. And we hope that we will move forward to these, as these are also aiding in parts of the national defense, in these initiatives and as always we also give credit to the eminent members of the UP Vanguard Incorporated especially members of the board of governors who have continuously contributed to the drafting of new laws to improve positions of ROTC, we like to thank you for your inputs. But again we like to ask for your help, to help us craft and define the new normal. We look at this as an opportunity and we hope that we can do this as fast as we can as soon as the pandemic is over, where we can do face-to face interaction, we can put reserve force development in a higher plane and of course the ROTC is the base of all. Everything starts from basic ROTC as you progress to the advance ROTC, you go on to apply for the regular commission, you go to PMA, whether you go to the Officer Candidate School and[/or] here in ARESCOM. We hope that we’ll have a very progressive program and produce the best and the brightest lieutenants for Philippine Army. Marami pa po tayong pwedeng gawin and part of our program is to revisit not only the Vanguard but also the other Alumni groups of ROTC units nationwide. To give you an idea, as of now we only have 492 ROTC units nationwide administered by 15 Community Defense Groups and we hope that the new POI for ROTC will be approved as soon as possible. We like to assure that it is VTC friendly and it can be administered by the learning guidelines as issued by CHED. We are also in cooperation with CHED and other NSTP administrators, and hopefully redefine the conduct of ROTC as soon as the school year opens this quarter.
As I’ve heard from the new Corps Commander now, that this will be a challenge, this will be historic, this will be a breakthrough and we hope that the new program of instruction; and to give you an idea on our new program of instruction, yung ating mga subjects, they are broken down into smaller tracks so that hindi masyadong wasteful sa oras sa instruction and hindi masyadong magkakaroon ng information overload yung ating mga magiging estudyante. And because of the IATF guidelines on the face-to-face interactions, we will be very creative on how we deliver the lectures and on how we evaluate students in their performance with the cooperation with CHED.
So yun po yung mga initiatives natin and again thank you very much for inviting me. In closing, thank you very much for inviting me as your guest of honor and speaker. This brings back a lot of memories. I also got to do the rite, although sa Los Banos nga lang, but of course UP Los Banos is also very proud of its students, in its change of command ceremonies and of course sa UP System, it’s nice to be back, it’s nice to be of service to you as your Guest of Honor and Speaker. And in closing, I want to make a shoutout for our brods in the UP Vanguard Incorporated, let us celebrate the 98th UPVI Homecoming and Convention in this coming evening through VTC. I’m sure it will be a blast. And sabi nga ng mga brods, nagcocomment kayo sa viber, napakaganda, napaka-exciting.
And of course that is in line of keeping our very good traditions alive and renewing our commitment to the conduct of the ROTC program, as the backbone of our defenses, as part of the total force of the Armed Forces of the Philippines. So again to the recently relieved Corps Commander, congratulations to you and to the new Corps Commander, good luck, and we hope to hear from you in the near future. We look forward to your new ideas. We look forward to your enthusiasm. And despite this pandemic,of the limitations that we have, I’m sure you will solve the problem. To the leadership of the NCRRCDG, the group defense center of the NCRRCDG, and the new commandant Col Datuin and of course Col Lagamon, the commander of the CMO Regiment of the Philippine Army, I wish you well and sa inyong lahat, magandang umaga, stay safe and let’s move forward.
Mabuhay ang Army, mabuhay ang ROTC, mabuhay ang UP ROTC Unit, mabuhay ang UP Vanguard Incorporated, mabuhay ang University of the Philippines, mabuhay ang Pilipinas, maraming salamat po.

7 ways to rock your next acceptance speech
Your audience will thank you if you skirt the predictable – and instead give them something to think about or act upon after the evening is over..
![sample acceptance speech for turnover ceremony](https://www.zumwaldandcompany.com/wp-content/uploads/Acceptance-speech-planning-man-e1521758059472-400x600.jpg)
First, the good news:
“Congratulations! You’ve won an award for your outstanding achievements!”
(And now the bad news):
“You’ll have about five or 10 minutes to deliver an acceptance speech after receiving your award.”
Yikes! Five or 10 minutes?
How will you start? What will you say? How will you say it? Whom will you thank? How will you end?
To calm your fears, event planners sometimes make light of their request for your remarks by telling you something like this:
“Don’t worry, Joe. We’ll start out with a video highlighting your accomplishments. So your acceptance speech is really more of a ‘thank you’ to whomever you see fit.”
But is it really?
Unfortunately, we’ve all sat through way too many awards nights where the acceptance speeches have been … well … downright boring. Predictable. Forgettable.
Don’t get me wrong. Winners try. They try really hard. But they get stuck in a loop of what they think an acceptance speech should be. Not what it could be.
When you think about what could be, the possibilities are endless!
Acceptance speeches can be an opportunity to change the way people think by persuading them to consider something they’ve never considered before.
Or, they can be an opportunity to change the way people behave by inspiring them – (based on the road you’ve traveled) – to do something even greater.
Now. Are you feeling a little more jazzed?
Here are seven tips to get you thinking differently about your next acceptance speech.
1. Be truly grateful. And mention others.
![sample acceptance speech for turnover ceremony](https://www.zumwaldandcompany.com/wp-content/uploads/Acceptance-speech-thinking-man-600x400.jpg)
So think long and hard about this.
Who in your circle deserves your authentic mention – and more importantly – why ?
A few years ago, when a chief technology officer accepted a competitive business award on his company’s behalf, his humility shone forth. Why? Because he named specific people – and thanked them one by one – for their specific contributions to the company’s success:
- He thanked the awarding organization for taking the time to recognize manufacturing innovation.
- He thanked his 63 employees “for your genius that drives us forward.”
- He thanked his majority partner for “believing in us to invest in us.”
- He thanked his organization’s founder “for risking it all to start the company in 1995.”
- And he thanked his wife “for being my rock on our journey to improve people’s lives with laser processing technology.”
But gratitude’s only part of it.
2. Be a tad unpredictable.
What else might you say to change the thoughts or behaviors of the particular people expected to be in your particular audience?
- Are they clients?
- Potential customers?
- Stakeholders?
- Industry colleagues?
- Business associates?
When planning your acceptance remarks , think strategically about One Big Idea you want to share that has real meaning to the unique audience you will address at the awards event.
Earlier this year, Oprah Winfrey did just that by tying One Big Idea to a current event. When she became the first African-American woman to receive the Cecil B. De Mille Award at the Golden Globes, she indeed thanked people: Dennis Swanson, Quincy Jones, Gayle King and Stedman Graham.
But she did something else.
In the end, Oprah seized the groundswell of the #MeToo movement, passionately inviting entertainers in the audience to be the “magnificent women” and “phenomenal men” fighting hard to become “the leaders who take us to the time when nobody ever has to say ‘Me too’ again.”
3. Decide what your acceptance speech needs to do .
If you want to change the way people think , then persuade your audience to consider something they may have never considered before.
In his acceptance speech for a Business Hall of Fame award , Rick Schwartz of Winsupply suggested that business leaders in the audience renew their commitment to our nation’s free enterprise system because it gives people with desire the chance to earn their own success:
I believe that Dayton’s continued prosperity – in every economic, cultural or civic program we undertake – depends on people who believe in free enterprise and are willing to help others participate in it.
As business leaders in Dayton, all of us need to do whatever it takes to create jobs and opportunities for others so they have the chance to work hard, pursue happiness and earn their own success.
• It is this difference that has defined the course of Dayton’s history. • It is this difference that has molded Dayton’s heritage, tradition and success. • It is this difference that helps everyday, ordinary people flourish.

In his acceptance speech for the Julian Marcus Lifetime Achievement Award given by Employment for Seniors, Chad Delligatti of InnoSource told his own story to inspire the audience to “make a choice to advocate for the mature job seeker” over the age of 50 by getting connected – or reconnected – to Employment for Seniors:
A minute ago, I told you the reason I said “yes” to Rocky Parker and decided to help Employment for Seniors in the first place.
It’s because I have a soft heart for people facing difficult circumstances through no fault of their own.
Plus, my company, InnoSource, has human resources expertise that I could bring to the table.
But that’s not the whole story.
Rocky’s 2003 invitation came two years after the September 11 terrorist attacks. By then, 2.5 million people in this country, many over the age of 50, had lost their jobs.
That included members of my family, and fathers of my friends.
So I saw what happens to people over the age of 50 who were displaced, but still wanted to work. In fact, they still needed to work – not only to support their families but also to keep a meaning and a purpose in their lives.
I saw for myself the havoc that a job loss can wreak on breadwinners and families through downsizings and rightsizings, mergers and acquisitions. Circumstances beyond a person’s control.
I felt a deep compassion for these men and women who were stunned, lost, alone and afraid, paralyzed with fear by their own new fork in the road.
Many of them had worked at the same place for 30 years, so they had no resume. No interviewing skills. And often no experience with new technology.
As we know, many people identify themselves based on what they do. So if they lose what they do, they also lose who they are.
That’s why I decided it was worth the fight to help keep Employment for Seniors whole and healthy.
4. Share something about yourself that your audience does not know.
To connect heart to heart with the people in the audience who are coming to cheer you on, give them a window to your world.
Several years ago, when executive Barbara Hayde received a YWCA Dayton Women of Influence Award, she wanted people to know the impact you can have on someone with just a few simple words of encouragement. So she shared this :
Back in the 1980s, when I ran the Dayton operation of Ohio Works – a program that moved women from welfare to work – I hired a young African-American man by the name of Robert E. Johnson.
After a year, I told Robert I wanted to promote him to my second-in-command – quite a well-deserved promotion!
He just stared at me.
His slow-to-arrive response was, “I just don’t think I can do that job.”
I said, “Robert – I know you. When you try hard enough, there isn’t anything you can’t do.”
Today Robert E. Johnson is not only a Ph.D., but he’s the president of Becker College in Worcester, Massachusetts.
Not long ago I caught up with Robert, who told me something I’ll never forget.
He said to me:
“You are the reason I have advanced to this point. “You are the person who told me I could do whatever I wanted to do. “Your encouraging words changed my life.”
5. Give your remarks a title that embodies your theme.
Even though the title of your award acceptance speech will never be revealed during the event, coming up with just the right title is still a good idea.
Here’s why:
A title will not only help you solidify that One Big Idea in your head (see tip 2) but also help you focus on your message as you deliver your remarks on the big night.
Here are a few examples of award acceptance speech titles that helped executives get more clarity on their message:
- “When You Come to a Fork in the Road, TAKE IT!”
- “Where Will Our New Leaders Come From?”
- “Aunt Peg Would be Proud”
- “Imagine the Impact You Can Have”
- “We Must Give Everyday, Ordinary People the Chance to Earn Their Own Success”
6. Link your remarks back to the organization and the event.
If you are truly grateful to the organization for bestowing this honor upon you, show it.
![sample acceptance speech for turnover ceremony](https://www.zumwaldandcompany.com/wp-content/uploads/Acceptance-speech-on-stage-crop2-300x300.jpg)
Then decide what you can say about one or more of these threads. This is classy and shows profound respect for the people who are putting you in the limelight.
During his acceptance speech for a prestigious civic award, businessman Ron Budzik told a story about Jim “Mac” McSwiney, a mentor of his and CEO at the former Mead Corp. (now MeadWestvaco). Mac had won the same award from the same organization 28 years ago:
In 1985, Mac stood on this stage and accepted the Citizen Legion of Honor award.
I remember that day well, and I remember what Mac spoke about.
Servant Leadership.
It’s a concept that Mac brought to us at Mead – he was just so passionate about it! – and one that continues to encourage and inspire me, in the work that I do alongside so many of you, to help create opportunities for others with very few resources to succeed.
I remember the day Jesse Phillips, one of Dayton’s great business owners and philanthropists, came to Mead seeking a million dollars for a community project.
Mac asked me, “Ron – can we do a million bucks?”
I told him flat out, “Mac – we don’t have it.”
And then Mac said to me, “But Ron – we just can’t walk away from this.”
And we didn’t.
We identified other funders – other leaders willing to step up – and together with the Mead Foundation came up with a million dollars for Jesse’s project.
That was Mac: He’d put you on the spot, persuade you to get engaged and compel you to figure out a solution – no matter what the problem was.
He pushed. And by continuing to ask me, he empowered me …
7. Talk like a real person.
Like any speech, a great acceptance speech requires spending time in thought well ahead of the big event. So devote some time to just thinking. Map out your thoughts. Then draft your script.
When it’s time to rehearse, make it conversational, like you’re chatting over cocktails with a tableful of trusted friends.
Practice in front of your spouse or a colleague – someone who will be honest with you if you’re coming across less than humble, and more like a preachy preacher or an executive droid.
So to wrap up, remember these seven ways to rock your next acceptance speech:
- Be truly grateful. And mention others.
- Be a tad unpredictable.
- Decide what your acceptance speech needs to do.
- Share something about yourself that your audience does not know.
- Give your remarks a title that embodies your theme.
- Link your remarks back to the organization and the event.
- Talk like a real person.

TWO CLASSROOM BUILDING + FACULTY BUILDING Turnover to DepEd
The Department of Education formally accepted on Thursday, May 29, 2019 the two classroom buildings, Faculty Building, 90-armchairs, 2-rooms toilet, 2-handwash areas and 1-water reservoir donated by NACSEA Relief with the aid of NAK Humanitas, Switzerland.
In a simple turn over ceremony held at the grounds of the new Acmonan Elementary School Kafok Extension, the symbolic key was accepted by Department of Education (DepEd) School Division Superintendent, Mr. Isagani S. De La Cruz, CESO V, from NACSEA Relief representative, Ms. Mabelle Bagtas in the presence of Hon Mayor, Reynaldo S. Tamayo, Barangay Captain Cawade T. Piang Jr., School head, Ms. Edna Perez, the guests, teachers, parents, and learners.
In her acceptance speech, Ms. Edna Perez, School Head, in behalf of the Department of Education, expressed her gratitude to NACSEA Relief President, Mr. Urs Hebeisen and to the donor, NAK Humanitas of Switzerland for their great support and make their dream of having a new school building a reality. She also thanked everyone who have come and celebrate the special occasion for the turnover ceremony of the new school building project.
![sample acceptance speech for turnover ceremony](https://nacsearelief.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/1-150x150.jpg)
The project is a testimony or proof of a strong conviction that became a reality through concerted actions, the conviction that the children need a good environment to learn many things in the world for their bright future, and the reality that is the completion of this new and solid school building.
The teaching staff extended as well their great appreciation to NACSEA Relief for its generosity and help change the situation of the makeshift school room and temporary faculty shelter in Kafok for more than 3-years. Reminiscing what they all experienced during the past years, are hardships as they all look back how they have to fight and secure school materials from the effect of bad weather due dripping roofs and walls due strong rain and winds, ensuring safety of learners due muddy and dirt floors, and absenteeism as children have to walk 2.5 long hours just to attend classes.
They promised to extend their hands as stewards that will pilot in the maintenance and safeguarding the property to maximize its full potential and utilization capacity. The new school building will provide learners a conducive space for learning and can now concentrate more of their study, be inspired to study harder and reach their highest potential
![sample acceptance speech for turnover ceremony](https://nacsearelief.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/30-150x150.jpg)
Above all, the teaching staff and the community are with high hopes that the school facilities will serve as an instrument that will encourage learners to attend school everyday, to develop competencies that they can use in the near future to effect progress not only for themselves but for their respective families and communities.
More than 100 pupils will benefit the project.

Acceptance Remarks During Project Assets Handing Over Ceremony by Honourable Philda Nani Kereng Minister of Environment, Natural Resources Conservation and Tourism
February 14, 2020.
Honourable Philda Nani Kereng- Minister Of Environment, Natural Resources Conservation and Tourism
1. On behalf of the Government of Botswana and of course my Ministry of Environment, Natural Resources Conservation and Tourism greatly appreciate to be part of today’s project assets and facilities handing over ceremony.
2. The Ngamiland Sustainable Land Management project was a noble initiative and vital because the Ngamiland District has sensitive ecosystems, notably the Okavango Delta and Lake Ngami, which need to be conserved and guarded against practices that may result in land degradation while ensuring that local communities, the district and the nation of Botswana benefit from the natural resources (including rangeland resources) within Ngamiland. The initiative partly effected the implementation of the Okavango Delta Management Plan.
3. The project urged stakeholders to work collaboratively, and ensure that the project’s contributions are made visible (including through social media, so as to reach especially the youth), and for the project outcomes to benefit as many people as was possible within Ngamiland. I am reliably informed that the project focused primarily on effective range management to improve range condition and flow of ecosystem services to support livelihoods of local communities in Ngamiland. The project also emphasized on the effective resource governance frameworks and markets, provision of incentives for livestock off-take and compliance with Sustainable Land Management.
4. I am particularly delighted that, the project was successfully implemented, and shall contribute to strengthened national capacity and improved policy and institutional framework for environmental management and sustainable development as well as enhanced capacity of communities for natural resources and ecosystem management and benefit distribution.
5. We are happy as a Ministry, that the project did not overly promote environmental conservation alone, but also paid attention to balancing this with the need for jobs, and especially in Ngamiland, the constraints faced by cattle owners; the need to balance the economic, social and environmental pillars of sustainable development were reiterated. We know and understand that the funds mobilised from the Global Environmental Facility (GEF) were only possible due to hard-work and collaboration between the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Government of Botswana, which partnership is encouraged going forward. Such a partnership is considered crucial especially since Botswana, as a middle-income country, does not have access to many of the traditional donors. For us, the United Nations (UN) is an extremely strategic partner who assists us mobilise financial and technical resources from other agencies such as the GEF and prospective supporters.
6. Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen , I wish to convey my sincere gratitude on behalf of the MENT Executive to all stakeholders particularly the District leadership and many others who have worked tirelessly towards the realization of Ngamiland Sustainable Land Management Project.
7. Director of Ceremonies , it is noteworthy to recognize some of the key stakeholders who have contributed positively towards the realization of this project, both financially and in-kind: District Commissioner; North West District Council; Implementing Partners (Department of Animal Production and Department of Forestry and Range Resources); Botswana Meat Commission; Kalahari Conservation Society; Tlhare Segolo Foundation; Okavango Research Institute; Southern Africa Regional Environmental Programme; to mention but a few. It is gratifying to realize that these Institutions truly worked together and were determined to improve the ecosystems and peoples livelihoods of Ngamiland.
8. We are gathered here today to appreciate and witness the handing over of some of the benefits emanating from the SLM Ngamiland project. On behalf of the Government of Botswana, It is now my singular honour and privilege to officially receive the project facilities as the SLM Ngamiland project closes. This facility includes a caravan office and furniture which shall be under the custody of my Ministry through the Department of Forestry and Range Resources.
9. Director of Ceremonies, I would like you to note that this noble gesture of donating assets by UNDP has also been extended to other stakeholders such as the Lake Ngami and Tsodilo Community Trusts. I would like to also take this opportunity to urge the staff and community to look after these properties and guard against any vandalism. The properties should be included in the Government register and those vandalizing or misusing should be reprimanded accordingly.
10. In conclusion, I wish to urge all those who contributed to the success of the SLM Ngamiland Project to continue working together in monitoring and supporting implementation of the ongoing project activities by communities.
I thank you for your attention.
Pula! Bagaetsho!

Winning an award is a momentous event in anyone’s life, be it for their personal or professional achievements.

But how can you craft an acceptance speech that truly resonates with the audience and inspires them? In this blog post, we will delve into the purpose of an acceptance speech, how it can inspire others, and some tips on crafting and delivering one. We’ll also cover common pitfalls to avoid so that your speech has the desired impact on the audience. So let’s get started on creating a memorable and inspiring acceptance speech!
Understanding the Purpose of an Award Acceptance Speech
Acknowledging hard work and team contributions is essential in an award speech, highlighting the collaborative efforts behind the achievement. Expressing gratitude for personal accomplishments demonstrates humility and appreciation. Moreover, integrating company values and sustainability initiatives into the speech emphasizes their significance in organizational success. Featuring business executives within the speech process aligns with the company’s leadership values and showcases their involvement in milestone achievements. The writing process for a good speech involves careful consideration of these elements to ensure a meaningful and impactful delivery, especially when the CEO is present. Overall, a well-crafted award speech not only communicates gratitude but also promotes the company’s values and sustainability efforts, making it a pivotal part of significant events and corporate recognition.
Goals and Importance of an Acceptance Speech
Crafting an award speech is a crucial part of the writing process, especially for business executives, team members, and award winners. A good acceptance speech not only reflects the individual’s own success but also acknowledges sustainability and good practices. When delivering an award speech, it’s essential to inspire others with the power of storytelling and the impact of specific, well-crafted words. CEO and business leaders should use this as an opportunity to set an example with their own speech. By showcasing gratitude and emphasizing company values, an acceptance speech can have a lasting influence and make the event memorable in September.
How an Acceptance Speech Inspires Others
An impactful award speech not only acknowledges the efforts of team members but also serves as a catalyst for inspiring hard work and sustainability within the company.

Acknowledging company sustainability and reflecting on good acceptance speech examples can inspire great ways forward.
Being Specific in Your Speech
Crafting an award acceptance speech for business executives requires reflecting on specific examples to make the speech more impactful.

Being specific about the company’s sustainability efforts and the role of each individual can create a good speech that inspires gratitude and motivates further contributions. Incorporating specific examples, such as successful initiatives or the impact of sustainability efforts on the company’s bottom line, can enhance the CEO’s own speech at the award ceremony in September.

THE PRESIDENT’S RESPONSE ON THE OCCASION OF THE TURNOVER CEREMONY OF THE SILLIMAN PRESIDENCY Betty Cernol-McCann, PhD , Thirteenth President
(Delivered on June 1, 2018 at the Silliman University Church.)
![sample acceptance speech for turnover ceremony sample acceptance speech for turnover ceremony](https://su.edu.ph/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/bcm-turnover-ceremony-842x636.jpg)
It’s a new day to serve the Lord!
Let me take you back to October 1913, twelve years after the founding of Silliman University, Charles Gunn, in his report to the Board of Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian Church, made an observation:
“One of the missionaries who is no busier than the rest conducts eight recitations daily, superintends the Silliman Printing Press involving the proofreading of a million and a half pages annually, takes his turn at conducting Sunday and chapel services and serves as superintendent at the Sunday School. His spare hours are occupied in writing a new text-book. His work commences at 7:45 in the morning and ends when it is necessary to go to bed at night, and that within ten degrees of the equator. And he likes his job!”*
Such a long, diverse and dedicated service. And he liked his job! But then, if he truly loved Silliman as we all must, how could he not?
As the 13th Silliman University President, I humbly follow a long line of administrators who performed with passion and dedication — who all have contributed to what Silliman is today. Pres. Ben S. Malayang III on top of what he has done in all the past 12 years, has been kind and gracious in making the turnover smooth and without problems or difficulties.
This is the 117th year of the Spirit and Service that define the character of this great university. I call upon us all to continue working together towards the vision “A leading Christian institution committed to total human development for the well-being of society and environment.”
Being with Silliman University is a form of ministry and service. Having the academic institution, the hospital and clinics, the church and its outreach projects are ways of engaging with the age-old tradition of the teaching ministry, healing ministry, and the gospel ministry. It is our sacred task to articulate the educational, medical, and evangelistic work in ways that responsibly respond to the situation or condition that confront us at present.
Silliman University is a reservoir of qualities and virtues required for this institution to function well: Energies, Intelligences, Imagination, and Love. It is up to us now in this moment of consecration to renew them.
We are a bunch of Energies – positive and negative, creative and destructive, innovative and conservative – all types of energies that must be managed for our productive use. Let us channel our energies for positive purposes. Let us not get wasted on negative thoughts and deeds.
We are a collective of Intelligences in all respects – cognitive, emotional, social; right-brained, left-brained; practical intelligence, creative intelligence, analytical intelligence; or the 7 types of intelligence (naturalist-nature smart; musical-sound smart; logical-mathematical or number/reasoning smart; existential or life smart; interpersonal or people smart; bodily-kinesthetic or body smart; and linguistic or word smart). Based on studies of various forms of intelligence, you are smart, no matter what others say. We just need to discover our individual types of intelligence and use them where we can best contribute productively to the Intelligence pool of the entire university.
We all are endowed with Imagination. We have the capacity to form new ideas, or images, or concepts of external objects not present to the senses. It is the part of the mind that imagines things and gives us the ability to be creative or resourceful. As the textbook says, “Imagination helps make knowledge applicable in solving problems and is fundamental to integrating experience and the learning process.” Let us imagine ourselves being able to work together. Let us imagine the impact the Silliman Spirit – that comes from the teachings of Jesus Christ – on our work and service and on our relationship with one another.
And, above all Love. The greatest commandment of all – “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your strength and with all your mind; and, Love your neighbor as yourself.” Silliman University is one big community encompassing all those who have gone through our portals and those who are here now. We are each other’s neighbor. We are to love each other – heart, mind, and soul.
On this the consecration service, I deem it appropriate to take a Presbyterian oath of old, and make a plea for us all “To serve with energy, intelligence, imagination and love…”
Perhaps none of us today will be required to devote the amount of time that the early missionary gave to making things work here. But all, at one time or another, may be called on to serve as tirelessly as he did. I’m hoping you’ll join me this day in pledging ourselves—heart, mind, and soul—to do our best for our beloved institution, and that, may we, too, “still like our jobs!”
As our song goes, “Still we work for dear old Silliman, her honor bright to shield”!

Turnover and Welcome Ceremony Acceptance Speech (May 29, 2008) To the indefatigable District Supervisor of Capas East District, Mr. Rustico G. Castro, to the industrious District Supervisor of Bamban District, Dr. Levy J. Palafox, to my dearest Principal Mrs. Carmen S. Lugtu, School Managers present, my co-teachers in Capas Gabaldon, to the hardworking Brgy. Captain of San Nicolas, Bamban,Tarlac, Hon. Rizal A. Cortez, Hon. Clinton M. Balagtas, the very active and debonaire Brgy. Captain of Cubcub, Capas, Tarlac, to the Mainang Resettlement Elementary School P.T.C.A. Officers headed by their very supportive President, Mrs. Vilma Nasis, friends, ladies and gentlemen, a blissful morning to each and everyone. We're gathered here this morning to officially mark a major shift in my professional career. A shift from academic to administrative. I’m Mrs. Ethel Balagtas-Gonzales, your humble servant hails from Villa de Sto. Rosario Capas, Tarlac. The eldest and only daughter of the late Mun. Councilor of Capas,Tarlac, Rudy Balagtas and Aurora Castro Baun-Balagtas. I’m married to Manuel C. Gonzales of Batangas, who is a dentist, currently working in Dubai.We have 1 daughter Precious Ethel, a 21 yrs. old registered nurse. I never knew what brought me here, as if somebody led my hand.It seems I hardly had to stir my course was planned. Those lines might be familiar to all of you bec. they were from a lyrics of a song , “Ever since the world begun” which is my career path theme song bec. I had proven to be true in my life esp. in my professional teaching career. A destiny had guided me... It all began on June, 1993 .After 7 years of marriage,I decided to continue my B.S. Nursing but unfortunately I missed the battery test schedule, so I just shifted to B.E.Ed. in TSU bec. they are still accepting enrolment on the first day of classes then and my Mom wanted me to follow the footsteps of her sister, Mrs. Erlinda B. Balatbat, a retired District Supervisor. Everything in my studies went easy and enjoyable for me.I graduated my B.E.Ed. there on April 12, 1996. Passed the LET August of the same year and by July 1, 1997, I was already a Regular Permanent Teacher at the Capas West District, Ores I, I taught Gr. V pupils till March 2000. Then May, 2000, I was transferred in Capas East District, Capas Gabaldon, I worked with Gr. I pupils for six years and 2 years in Gr. III and here I am now, a newly appointed Head Teacher III assigned in your district, Bamban District, Mainang Resettlement Elementary School. I owned the bragging rights of being 7 th in the rank out of 99 who joined the open ranking for Head Teacher III. To sum it up, everything came easy for me in terms of my professional teaching career.What made me blew my nursing course at the Univ. of Santo Tomas then was destiny. I believe the keeper of the stars had a hand in this and let his will be done. He’s my shield and my glory. I believe that if God is with me, who can be against me...for he will support and guide me in all my endeavors. We don’t accomplish anything in this world alone and whatever happens is the whole tapestry of one’s life and all the weavings of individual threads from one to another that creates something...I would like to express my sincerest thanks and deep gratitude to all my immediate past supervisors especially Mr. Rustico G. Castro and Mrs. Carmen S. Lugtu, not only they are my supervisors but they are my like my parents, my mentor...and lastly to all my co-teachers, whom in one way or the other took part in molding a school head... I’m looking forward to a good and productive working relationship with your district and your school that I will be handling. I believe in the Latin Maxim “Crescat Scientia, Vita Escolatur” which means let knowledge grow from more to more and so be human life enriched. Let’s work together to uplift the lives of our countrymen through education and we start with the youth, our pupils who are the hope of our tomorrow...our future....Let’s develop them into their full potentials so that they will become good,responsible, and productive citizen of our country. Let every Filipino child a reader....Let every reader a learner and every learner, a leader.... So help me God...So help us God..... Thank you!
