“I hope when the time comes, you will all be members of ERA. A time of real change is what our organization needs. When I say ERA, that means always be an example, responsible, and accountable police officer,” Danao said, speaking partly in Filipino.

“In so doing, you would always be giving Serbisyong TAMA — tapat, may tapang at malasakit sa sambayanang Pilipino,” he added.

The acronym TAMA is also the Filipino word for “right,” and the words that compose it stand for “honest, with courage and concern for the Filipino people.”
