President Benigno Aquino III on Wednesday urged the new chief of the Philippine Navy to continue the "Tuwid na Daan" (straight path) leadership started by outgoing Flag-Officer-in-Comand Vice Admiral Jose Luis Alano.

”Now that you have new leader in the Philippine Navy, my appeal to you is to stay strong in your duties. Consider as your anchor the trust and concerns of the Filipino people in fulfilling your mission,” President Aquino added.
