Prelude
ASK & DISCUSS: How would you define gallantry?

Gallantry is one of those rich words that has two

meanings. And it so happens that both meanings are
spot-on for the training of police officers. The first
meaning of the word is essentially “dashing courage”
(kakaibang katapangan) or “heroic bravery.” The
second meaning of the word is “noble-minded behavior”
(having or characteristic of an honorable, upright, and
superior mind) or giving “courtly attention to women.”

ASK & DISCUSS: How would you define gallantry?

Gallantry is one of the most difficult to learn

because we attack our task with pride, we win or
lose. Whether we win or lose, we develop self-
reliance, self-will and self-pride. Here lies the
challenge for all policeman that is perhaps the most
difficult to win – going forth in pride and self-will
versus going forth with confidence in the Lord but
also trusting in the natural skill that God has given.
