ROXAS CITY, Capiz (PIA) — A groundbreaking of two standard Municipal Police Station (MPS) buildings in Capiz was conducted early this year in view of the Philippine National Police’s commitment to enhance public safety, peace and development.
These are the three-storey MPS buildings for Dumarao and Panitan towns which are among the seven forthcoming standard police stations in the region that were presented as among the administrative gains of the Police Regional Office (PRO) – 6 during the August 6 episode of the Kapihan sa Bagong Pilipinas of the Philippine Information Agency in Western Visayas.
“We assure to maintain peace and order in Western Visayas to sustain the progress and development, of course, through the support of our people,” PRO 6 director Brig. Gen. Jack L. Wanky stressed.
In Negros Occidental, the construction of the new and standard police stations is ongoing for Bago City Component Police Station in Bago City; Himamaylan Component City Police Station for Himamaylan City; Isabela MPS in Isabela town; and Manapla MPS in Manapla town.
A new MPS building for Sebaste town in Antique is also underway.
The PRO 6 has also included the inauguration and blessing of its new Multi-Purpose Building, the transfer of the Iloilo Police Provincial Office to its new headquarters in Brgy. Sablogon, Passi City in Iloilo, and the activation of four additional police stations under the Iloilo City Police Office, as among its recent administrative accomplishments.
“Ini ang mangin simbolo sang puluy-an sang isa ka pamilya nga magadala sang pagpaluntad sang katawhayan sa banwa sang Dumarao,” said Dumarao mayor lawyer Mateo Hachuela in a social media post about the new MPS that is being constructed at Brgy. Poblacion Ilawod, Dumarao.
(This will be the home of a family that will ensure peace and order in the municipality.)
For her part, Panitan MPS chief Police Maj. Amie Bulaqueña said the blessing and inauguration of the new PNP building at Pob. Ilawod, Panitan is expected before the end of the year as the construction works are nearing its completion.
“We at the Panitan Municipal Police Station are very inspired to do our best to serve and protect the populace and to be more effective and efficient law enforcers of the municipality,” Bulaqueña noted, drawing the inspiration from the support of the PNP higher headquarters, local government and barangay officials and town residents, among others.
