THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR VERY WARM WELCOME. YOUR CORDIALITY IS
TRULY HEARTWARMING THAT I FEEL HONORED AND HUMBLED TO HAVE BEEN
GIVEN THIS NEW RESPONSIBILITY AS YOUR PROVINCIAL DIRECTOR.
I THANK THE CHIEF OF THE PHILIPPINE NATIONAL POLICE, DIRECTOR GENERAL
AVELINO I RAZON JR., FOR BELIEVING AND TRUSTING IN ME ENOUGH TO HAVE
BESTOWED ON ME THE POSITION OF KEEPING WATCH OVER THE PROVINCE OF
NUEVA ECIJA.
MY SINCEREST THANKS GOES OUT AS WELL TO POLICE CHIEF SUPERINTENDENT
ERROL PAN, THE REGIONAL DIRECTOR OF POLICE REGIONAL OFFICE 3 FOR THE
SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGEMENT HE HAS GIVEN ME UPON MY DESIGNATION TO THIS
POST.
I HAVE OF COURSE RESERVED MY DEEPEST APPRECIATION AND CONGRATULATIONS
TO POLICE SENIOR SUPERINTENDENT AGRIPINO JAVIER FOR HIS LAUDABLE
LEADERSHIP AS PROVINCIAL DIRECTOR OF THIS PROVINCE. HIS DYNAMISM AND
COMPETENCE WILL SERVE TO INSPIRE ME AS I CONTINUE WITH THE JOB.
ABOVE ALL, I THANK THE ALMIGHTY GOD FOR HIS CONSTANT GUIDANCE AND I ASK
FOR HIS BLESSINGS AS I TAKE ON THE RESPONSIBILITIES AND CHALLENGES OF THE
TASKS AT HAND.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THIS TURNOVER CEREMONY IS MEMORABLE NOT ONLY
BECAUSE OF THE VERY WARM WELCOME YOU HAVE GIVEN ME AS INCOMING CHIEF
OF THIS COMMAND, BUT MORE SO BECAUSE IT SIGNIFIES A CHANGE IN LEADERSHIP
AND THE TURNING OF A NEW PAGE IN THE HISTORY OF THIS COMMAND. AND
THOUGH OUR MISSION – “TO SERVE AND PROTECT THE COMMUNITY” - REMAINS THE
SAME, WE SHALL PURSUE IT, THIS TIME, WITH ALL THE FERVOR AND ENTHUSIASM
WE CAN MUSTER AS WE GIVE MORE LIFE AND MEANING TO OUR CODE OF SERVICE,
HONOR AND JUSTICE.
AS OUR CHIEF, PNP DIRECTOR GENERAL AVELINO I RAZON JR HAS DECLARED, “TO
SERVE AND PROTECT” REMAINS OUR BATTLECRY, AND THIS SAME BATTLECRY NOW
SERVES AS THE ANCHOR OF THE “MAMANG PULIS“ PROGRAM WHICH THE NEW CHIEF,
PNP AIMS TO REVIVE. UNDER MY HUMBLE WATCH, THIS, TOO, WILL BE NUEVA ECIJA
PPO’S BATTLECRY, AND MAMANG PULIS IS ALL SET AND READY TO PROVE HIMSELF
AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THIS PROVINCE.
AS WE GIVE LIFE TO THIS BATTLECRY, I THEREFORE CALL ON EACH AND EVERY
POLICE PERSONNEL IN THIS PROVINCE TO HEED THE CALL OF THE CHIEF, PNP TO
HELP BRING BACK THE GLORY OF THE POLICE FORCE AND REVIVE THE MAMANG
PULIS OF OLD, WHOSE MERE PRESENCE EVOKES RESPECT AMONG OUR PEACE-
LOVING CITIZENS AND STRIKES FEAR IN THE HEARTS OF THE CRIMINAL ELEMENTS.
AS I BEGIN MY TERM OF OFFICE TODAY, I HAVE RESOLVED TO FOLLOW THE CHIEF,
PNP’S CLARION CALL FOR ALL POLICE OFFICERS TO RENEW THEIR COMMITMENT TO
THE FULFILLMENT OF OUR MISSION TO SERVE AND PROTECT THE COMMUNITY. I
HAVE COMMITTED MYSELF, AS WELL, TO THE PROMOTION OF THE NUEVA ECIJA
POLICE OFFICE AS A PEOPLE-FRIENDLY COMMAND.
TOWARDS THIS END, A HOLISTIC SYSTEM SHALL BE APPLIED. IT IS NOT ENOUGH
THAT OUR POLICE OFFICERS BECOME MORE ACCESSIBLE TO THE PUBLIC. THE
MAMANG PULIS THAT WE ENVISION MUST BE CITIZEN-FRIENDLY, BUT ABOVE ALL,
HIS FRIENDLY IMAGE MUST BE COMPLEMENTED BY EFFICIENCY AND DEDICATION
TO DUTY. THUS, IN LINE WITH DIRECTOR GENERAL RAZON’S ACTION PROGRAMS, I
WILL LIKEWISE INTENSIFY POLICE VISIBILITY AND THE INTEGRATED PATROL
SYSTEM IN THIS PROVINCE TO MAKE OUR CITIZENS FEEL THAT THEIR POLICE IS JUST
AROUND TO SERVE AND PROTECT THEM. SIMULTANEOUS WITH THIS, THE LAW
ENFORCEMENT AND POLICING SKILLS OF MY MEN WILL BE ENHANCED TO ENSURE
THAT EVERY STREET, TOWN AND BARANGAY OF THIS PROVINCE IS SAFE AND
SECURE.
IN ADDITION, I WILL VIGOROUSLY PROMOTE THE PNP’S PRIORITY PROGRAMS AS
EMBODIED IN OUR COMMANDER’S MANUAL WHICH NOW SERVES AS OUR CONSTANT
GUIDE AND REFERENCE IN OUR DAILY TASKS. AMONG OTHERS, I SHALL PUSH
FORWARD THE NEW 24-HOUR ACTION CENTER AND COMPLAINTS DESK CALLED ‘I–
REPORT MO KAY TSIP“ WHICH WILL NOT ONLY IMPROVE FURTHER OUR CRIME
MONITORING AND RESPONSE TIME, BUT WILL ALSO HELP FORGE CLOSER TIES
BETWEEN THIS COMMAND AND THE PEOPLE OF THIS PROVINCE WHO NOW HAVE AN
EASIER WAY OF COMMUNICATING THEIR COMPLAINTS AGAINST LAWLESS
ELEMENTS AS WELL AS THEIR CALLS FOR POLICE ASSISTANCE.
MY LEADERSHIP, HOWEVER, IS NOT CONFINED TO PEACE AND ORDER EFFORTS
ALONE. I SHALL PUT EQUAL FOCUS ON THE CLEANSING OF OUR RANKS SO THAT THE
MISGUIDED ELEMENTS IN THIS COMMAND WILL HAVE NO OPPORTUNITY TO SOW
DISCONTENT AND FEAR IN THE COMMUNITY. AND IN CONSONANCE WITH THE CHIEF,
PNP’S CAMPAIGN AGAINST SCALAWAGS IN UNIFORM, I SHALL BE FIRM AND DECISIVE
IN ADDRESSING THIS PROBLEM. THIS, TOO, IS IN LINE WITH THE CHIEF, PNP’S GOAL
OF TRANSFORMING THE MODERN POLICE OFFICER INTO THE “MAMANG PULIS“ OF
BYGONE YEARS WHO WAS LOVED, TRUSTED AND RESPECTED BY THE PEOPLE.
ALL THESE, AND MORE, ARE WHAT I INTEND TO DO IN THE FULFILLMENT OF MY
DUTIES NOT ONLY AS COMMANDING OFFICER BUT MORE SO, AS SERVANT OF THE
PEOPLE OF NUEVA ECIJA. I WILL GIVE MY UTMOST BEST TO STEER THIS OFFICE
TOWARDS GREATER HEIGHTS BY COMBINING THE GAINS OF MY PREDECESSOR AND
MY OWN PROGRAMS. I TRUST THAT BY DOING SO, THIS POLICE OFFICE WILL
ACHIEVE MORE MILESTONES AS WE CARRY ON THE MISSION TO SERVE AND PROTECT
THE COMMUNITY.
AS I GET DOWN TO WORK, I CALL ON EACH AND EVERY PERSONNEL OF THE NUEVA
ECIJA POLICE OFFICE TO JOIN ME AS WE AGGRESSIVELY MOVE FORWARD TOWARDS
SERVING AND PROTECTING OUR COUNTRYMEN. LET US NOT REST ON OUR LAURELS,
BUT INSTEAD REMAIN ACTIVELY ON OUR FEET AS WE BUILD ON THE GAINS OF THE
PAST LEADERSHIP AND STRIVE HARDER IN OUR CONTINUING CAMPAIGN TO
EFFECTIVELY ADDRESS THE PROBLEMS ON CRIMINALITY, INSURGENCY AND
TERRORISM. LET US HELP OUR PNP LEADERSHIP REALIZE OUR REFORM INITIATIVES
BY WORKING HARDER TOWARDS ACHIEVING THE OBJECTIVES SET FORTH IN OUR
PNP INTEGRATED TRANSFORMATION PROGRAM.
ABOVE ALL, I CALL ON THE PEOPLE OF NUEVA ECIJA TO WORK CLOSELY WITH US,
YOUR POLICE FORCE, SO THAT WE CAN BUILD A SAFER AND MORE PEACEFUL
COMMUNITY. LET US PUT MORE POWER TO OUR PARTNERSHIP TOWARDS ACHIEVING
THIS GOAL, FOR OUR COUNTRY’S PROGRESS HINGES ON PEACE AND ORDER. I
ASSURE YOU THAT WE IN, THIS COMMAND, WILL RECIPROCATE YOUR SUPPORT BY
WALKING THE EXTRA MILE IN THE PERFORMANCE OF OUR DUTIES.
LET US BOTH FACE THE CHALLENGES AHEAD WITH COURAGE, RESOLVE AND
DETERMINATION AS WE REMAIN FIRM IN UPHOLDING OUR DEMOCRATIC IDEALS.
TOGETHER, LET US MAKE NUEVA ECIJA THE BASTION OF PEACE AND SECURITY IN
THE COUNTRY.
SA MGA KABABAYAN KONG TAGA LALAWIGAN NG NUEVA ECIJA, NANDITO NA PO ANG
INYONG MAMANG PULIS. INYO LAMANG PONG PAG-UTUSAN.
WITH THAT, I THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR VERY WARM WELCOME.
