THE Police Regional Office 3 yesterday joined the commemoration of the 125th Anniversary of the Philippine Independence during a simple program and releasing of doves held at the PRO3 Patrol Hall, Camp Julian Olivas, City of San Fernando, Pampanga.
Themed “Kalayaan. Kinabukasan. Kasaysayan,” the event was attended by all PNP uniformed and non-uniformed personnel in the region.
“Malinaw ang ating takdang tungkulin: Ang maglingkod sa mamamayang Pilipino, magtaguyod ng seguridad sa ating mga komunidad, at magtanggol sa ating mga karapatan. Lalo nating paigtingin ang pagpapalaganap ng serbisyong nagkakaisa, na siyang gabay natin sa paglilingkod at sa pakikipagtulungan para sa kaayusan, kapayapaan at kaunlaran,” said the statement from PNP chief Gen. Bejnamin Acorda Jr. read by PRO3 Deputy Regional Director for Operations Col. Rudecindo Reales during the program.
PRO3 director Brig. Gen. Jose Hidalgo Jr. said: “Ipagpatuloy natin ang ating tapat na serbisyo upang supilin ang ilegal na droga, kriminalidad at katiwalian sa bansa. Hangad ko na ang damdaming makabayan at malasakit sa kapwa at bayan ay mag-alab sa puso ng bawat pulis. Ating tuparin ang sinumpaang tungkulin na pagsilbihan at bantayan ang mamamayan. Pangalagaan ang karapatan ng bawat Pilipino upang malaya silang makapamuhay sa tahimik at maayos na pamayanan.”
During the celebration, the Central Luzon top cop called on for public support and cooperation in preventing untoward incidents and crime situations.
“We are once again appealing to the public to report any suspicious persons, activities and unusual occurrences in the community to the nearest police station or through PRO3 hotline 09985985330/09176235700,” Hidalgo said.
