 ALLOW ME FIRST TO EXTEND MY HEARTFELT CONGRATULATIONS TO
POLICE REGIONAL OFFICE 7 HEADED BY ITS VERY DYNAMIC REGIONAL
DIRECTOR PBGEN DEBOLD M SINAS FOR THE SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF
THE PROFICIENCY STAGE WITH FLYING COLORS BAGGING THE SILVER
EAGLE AWARD.

AND I APPLAUD THE CHIEF OF POLICE OF DIFFERENT POLICE

STATIONS FOR SUCH COMMENDABLE PERFORMANCE IN YOUR RESPECTIVE
ASSIGNMENTS WHICH SERVED AS AN INSPIRATION TO OTHERS IN OUR PNP
ORGANIZATION.

AND ALSO MY WARM APPRECIATION TO THE MEMBERS OF ADVISORY

COUNCILS OF DIFFERENT UNITS WHO ARE PRESENT TODAY WITNESSING
THIS ANOTHER MOMENTOUS ACTIVITY AND FOR THEIR UNDYING SUPPORT
TO THEIR LOCAL POLICE. YOU PLAY A VERY IMPORTANT ROLE IN THE
SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PNP PATROL PLAN 2030 BY
PROVING INSIGHTS AS TO THE ALIGNMENT OF POLICIES, PROGRAM AND
ACTIVITIES WITH THE ORGANIZATIONAL STRATEGY, GENERATING
ADDITIONAL RESOURCES AND IN BRINGING THE POLICE CLOSER TO THE
COMMUNITY AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS.

IT IS INSPIRING TO NOTE THAT DESPITE OF THE MANY CHALLENGING

TASKS, OUR CHIEFS OF POLICE WITH THE GENUINE SUPPORT OF THEIR
RESPECTIVE LOCAL CHIEF EXECUTIVES AND MOST ESPECIALLY THE
COMMUNITY, HAVE SUCCESSFULLY ACCOMPLISHED OUR MANDATE
PARTICULARLY IN PROVIDING EFFECTIVE AND RESPONSIVE PUBLIC SAFETY
SERVICES TO THE PEOPLE IN CENTRAL VISAYAS.

THE PAST YEAR MANIFESTED NUMEROUS CHALLENGES AND

SUCCESS STORIES, THE POLICE FORCE OF POLICE REGIONAL OFFICE 7
HAVE BEEN VERY EFFECTIVE IN KEEPING THE PEACE ACROSS THE REGION
WHICH IS INDEED COMMENDABLE AND TRULY REFLECTIVE OF OUR
PROFESSIONALISM, DEDICATION TO SERVICE AND COMMITMENT TO THE
Page 2 of 5
VISION OF OUR NATIONAL LEADERSHIP. THIS IS MANIFESTED IN THE AREA
OF INITIATING LARGE SCALE ILLEGAL DRUG OPERATIONS, NEUTRALIZING
ORGANIZED CRIME GROUPS, DRUG PEDDLERS AND DELIVERING RELEVANT
PEACE AND ORDER INITIATIVES WHICH CAUSED A CONSISTENTLY
DECLINING CRIME TREND FOR THE REPORTING PERIOD.

ALSO THE MUCH COVETED AWARD BY ITS CONFERMENT OF THE GOLD

EAGLE AWARD AS FAR AS EMBRACING THE INITIATION STAGE OF THE PGS.
LIKEWISE, IN THE COMPLIANCE STAGE, PRO7 DID NOT FALTER AND
GARNERED THE SILVER EAGLE AWARD. DURING THE PROFICIENCY STAGE,
POLICE REGIONAL OFFICE 7 HAVE NOT JUST PASSED BUT GARNERED THE
SILVER EAGLE AWARD. THESE ACHIEVEMENTS IS A MANIFESTATION THAT
POLICE REGIONAL OFFICE 7 DID NOT REST ON ITS LAURELS BUT ALWAYS
READY TO TAKE ON THE NEXT CHALLENGE AND ALWAYS DOING THEIR BEST.

WITH ITS PGS-GUIDED POLICING, PRO7 STRENGTHEN ITS

TRANFORMATION PROGRAM BY TRANSLATING ITS GOVERNANCE
STATEMENT INTO A CONCRETE AND WELL-DEFINED ANTI-CRIMINALITY
APPROACH AND ENSURES THAT ALL OPERATIONAL PROGRAMS,PROJECTS
AND ACTIVITIES ARE ALIGNED, WHICH EVENTUALLY RESULTED INTO A
POSITIVE DIVIDENDS LATER IN THE YEAR.

PUBLIC SUPPORT WAS EVIDENT BY THE POSITIVE FEEDBACKS FROM

LOCAL LEADERS, BUSINESS SECTORS, MEDIA PRACTITIONERS,
STAKEHOLDERS, AND THE COMMUNITY IN GENERAL. YOUR STATISTICAL
DATA READILY REVEALED A DECREASING CRIME OCCURRENCE AND
INCREASING CRIMINAL ARRESTS IN THE YEAR 2018 AND EARLY 2019, WHICH
IS INDICATIVE OF A SAFER CENTRAL VISAYAS.

ON THE OTHER HAND, PRO 7 WAS NOT SPARED FROM MAJOR

OBSTACLES IN THE YEAR WHICH STRENGTHENED ITS RESILIENCE AND
TESTED ITS DETERMINATION IN THE PERFORMANCE OF THEIR MANDATED
Page 3 of 5
TASKS. MANY LIVES OF OUR POLICEMEN HAD BEEN LOSS IN THE COURSE
OF PERFORMING THEIR DUTIES AS LAW ENFORCERS ESPECIALLY IN THE
WAR AGAINSTS ILLEGAL DRUGS. IT REMINDS US, TO EVERYONE THAT THE
ATTAINMENT OF A PEACEFUL AND ORDERLY COMMUNITY IS NOT THAT EASY
WITHOUT A PRICE, DISHEARTENING IT MAY BE. NEVERTHELESS, POLICE
REGIONAL OFFICE 7 HAS REMAINED COMMITTED TO DO WHATEVER IT TAKES
UNDER THE BOUNDS OF LAW TO MAINTAIN A PEACEFUL AND ORDERLY
CENTRAL VISAYAS.

MOREOVER, WITH THE UNPRECEDENTED SUCCESS IN THE FIGHT

AGAINST ALL FORMS OF CRIMINALITY AND ILLEGAL DRUGS, PRO7 HAD
APPARENTLY INCREASED THE SATISFACTION AND APPROVAL RATING FROM
THE PEOPLE OF CENTRAL VISAYAS. MEDIA PRACTITIONERS, LOCAL CHIEF
EXECUTIVES, AS WELL AS THE ADVISORY COUNCILS FROM DIFEERENT
UNITS HAD EXPRESSED THEIR HEARTFELT PRAISES TOWARDS THE
EFFORTS AND SACRIFICES GIVEN BY THE BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN OF PRO7
IN KEEPING PEACE TO THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY. THESE ACHIEVEMENTS
INDEED GAVE ME THE ASSURANCE THAT POLICE REGIONAL OFFICE 7 WILL
NOT STAND STILL ON THIS TEMPORAL SUCCESS BUT INSTEAD SHALL
REMAIN COMMITTED IN PERFORMING ITS SWORN DUTY.

UNDENIABLY, THERE ARE MANY THINGS TO BE THANKFUL FOR

TODAY, FIRST AND FOREMOST, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE REGIONAL
DIRECTOR, PBGEN DEBOLD M SINAS, SIR FOR INVITING US ON THIS
MOMENTOUS EVENT, MEMBERS OF THE PRO7 COMMAND GROUP, TO THE
REGIONAL ADVISORY COUNCIL MEMBERS HEADED BY MR. PRUDENCIO J
GESTA, CHAIRMAN RACPTD 7 AND AT THE SAME TIME THE CHAIRMAN OF THE
NAGPTD. ALSO TO THE MEMBERS OF THE CITY, PROVINCIAL AND MUNICIPAL
ADVISORY COUNCIL FOR THEIR UNWAVERING SUPPORT IN ALL OUR
ENDEAVORS AND SHARING THEIR COMMITMENT TOWARDS ESTABLISHING
AN ATMOSPHERE OF PROGRESS AND DEVELOPMENT IN REGION 7.

 ONCE AGAIN, CONGRATULATIONS TO POLICE REGIONAL OFFICE 7 AND
TO ALL THE AWARDEES THIS AFTERNOON. THIS FEAT WILL BRING FORTH
THE BEST AND FINEST POLICE FORCE FOR POLICE REGIONAL OFFICE 7.

AFTER THIS OCCASION, LET US BRACE OURSELVES AND KEEP OUR

NOSES IN THE GRINDSTONE AGAIN SO THAT WE WILL ACCOMPLISH THE
MUCH COVETED GOLD EAGLE AWARD OF INSTITUTIONALIZING PRO7 WHERE
WE CONTINUE TO EXERCISE OUR MISSION OF KEEPING OUR COMMUNITIES
