"This has ignited a feeling of greater love for my country as our officers take time to recognize our efforts in serving our country.

"We reach out to the youth to take on this journey as well to experience that fulfillment that we talk about."
Rocco then stressed, "Believe me, magbabago ang pananaw ninyo sa buhay."
He continued, "Congrats to all the awardees, especially to my good friend @dongdantes , whom I salute to now as Lt Commander Dantes.
"Buddy na tayo sa Alpha team, buddy na rin Navy. Snappy salute!
"Our tatay in heaven, Col. Eleuterio R. Quiogue, sana po napangiti kita today.
"This is for you too, Mom and Dad! Love you!"
Rocco graduated on October 26, 2019 from his basic civilian's military training under the Philippine Navy to become a fully-fledged navy reservist.
