OZAMIZ CITY, Misamis Occidental (PIA) — The province of Misamis Occidental inaugurated the P25 million 2nd Provincial Mobile Force Company (PMFC) standard building in Ozamiz City.
The event underscores the province’s full support for the Philippine National Police (PNP) and its commitment to ensuring public safety.
PBGen. De Guzman expressed his deep appreciation for the province’s leadership, recognizing Misamis Occidental as the first in Region 10 to have a standard police provincial office building. He also emphasized the province’s role in securing the first titled lot for the Provincial Police Office (PPO) and the new 2nd PMFC building.
“Misamis Occidental has been incredibly supportive of the PNP. This building demonstrates how much the local government values the safety and well-being of its citizens,” said De Guzman.
He encouraged the police to treat the new facility as a home, urging them to maintain the building and continue serving with honesty and dedication.
Gov. Henry Oaminal emphasized the vital role of the PNP in maintaining the province’s safety, explaining that the construction of the building was part of a broader effort to strengthen the police force and equip them with the necessary tools to serve and protect.
“We support the PNP because we understand the importance of your work in safeguarding people. We place our trust in you and continue to support you in your mission,” Oaminal stated.
He also outlined his administration’s vision for the province.
“Our goal is to achieve Asenso Ozamiz, Asenso Misamis Occidental—progress that ensures the people of Misamis Occidental live in a peaceful, prosperous, and happy community.”
Rep. Ando Oaminal shared the story behind the project, which was initiated in 2022. He revealed that the building initially secured P10 million in funding from Gov. Oaminal. Through collaborative efforts, an additional P15 million was allocated by Cong. Oaminal to enhance the structure, bringing the total cost to P25 million. This funding reflects the leadership and dedication of Misamis Occidental’s leaders.
“This building symbolizes unity and cooperation among all stakeholders in the province. It’s not just about the structure; it’s about the collective effort to provide our police force with the resources they need to serve our people,” said Rep. Oaminal.
The building’s modern design includes air-conditioned rooms, fully furnished spaces, and amenities such as beds, cabinets, refrigerators, and dining tables—all provided by the local government of Ozamiz City under the leadership of Mayor Indy Oaminal.
The inauguration was led by Governor Henry S. Oaminal, 2nd District Rep. Ando Oaminal, and Ozamiz Mayor Henry “Indy” Oaminal Jr., with PBGen. Jaysen De Guzman as a special guest.
The ceremony also served as a reminder of the responsibilities that come with this new facility. Gov. Oaminal and Rep. Oaminal urged the PNP to continue their commitment to service and integrity, emphasizing the trust the people of Misamis Occidental have placed in them.
“The people of the 2nd District trust you with their lives. It’s important that we all work together to keep our communities safe and thriving,” said Rep. Oaminal. (SN/PGMO/PIA 10 Misamis Occidental)
