While we are on a Security Mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints I have kept a journal of events and mission related posts with pictures that chronicles our time in the Philippines.

March 8, 2011 Staff Meeting with retiring officers.
Today was our scheduled Staff Meeting with our Manila Security Staff. It also was our going away pizza lunch with congratulation cake for our Officer in Charge Felipe (Philip) Ramos Jr. having served 24 years here in Manila. And Felix Royo who served 14 years at the temple. Felix turns 65 on the 10th of March and it is mandatory that when you turn 65 here in the Philippines you retire. Philip has served 24 years here with the security staff but is only 55. He was here when the coup d etat occured in 1989 so he remembers alot. Felix was not able to attend due to personal reasons but we made our way to his house after the meeting to present his certificate of appreciation to him along with left over pizza and cake. His wife and kids were pleased for him.
The certificates were made here in our office by the production department. I asked them to make a couple of certificates and I emailed the wording I wanted and then came back an amazing certificate with the temple in the background. After they were printed we went to National Book Store and bought a couple of frames that suited the certificate perfectly.
