The Commission on Audit (CoA) held its Senior Executive Development Program (SEDP) graduation ceremony for 20 CoA executives who successfully completed the SEDP, including the defense of their policy papers. A simple graduation ceremony was held at the CoA Sports and Cultural Center on Dec. 17, 2024.
SEDP aims to continuously develop talented and competitive leaders. According to CoA Resolution No. 2002-009, the plan is authorized to ensure the continuous development and formation of senior managers of the CoA to provide competent supervision and leadership thereby ensuring the honest and reliable work of the Commission.
CoA Chairman Gamaliel A. Cordoba led the CoA officials in honoring the SEDP graduates, noting that the event is the culmination of the students’ dedication, perseverance and unwavering desire to grow.
“As you move forward, always remember that leadership is not a one-way journey. It is strengthened by the cooperation, inclusion and shared wisdom of those around you. Let us continue to respect the principles of this Commission – striving for transparency, accountability, and good governance in the service of the nation. And to those who spoke our services, today’s celebration shows the lasting impact of your commitment to raising tomorrow’s leaders,” said Chairman Cordoba.
On the other hand, Commissioner Roland Café Pondoc encouraged SEDP graduates to embrace leadership defined not by power or prestige, but by integrity, purpose, and commitment to serving the Filipino people.
“As graduates of this program, the knowledge and skills you have gained are important, but it is your unwavering principles and dedication to doing what is right, however difficult or unpleasant, that will shape your legacy. As you move forward, may your actions inspire others and leave a meaningful impact, because true success lies in uplifting others and working with respect, love, and love for our nation,” said Commissioner Mpondoc.
