CAMP RUPERTO KANGLEON, Palo,
Leyte – PCSupt Elmer Ragadio Soria, CEO VI, Regional
Director of PRO 8 declared an all-out campaign against all forms of
illegal activities in the whole region.
The newly installed RD
sternly warns the people of Region 8 to avoid illegal mining, illegal
logging, illegal gambling and all other similar illegal activities.
In relation to the
unprecedented positive changes directly and principally relating to
the suppression of criminality including those on illegal gambling,
private armies, terrorism, organized crime and illegal drugs in the
country, PNP PRO 8 has always and will always be in constant pursuit
of attaining a more capable, effective and credible police force
through innovative policing programs, projects and activities. Kudos
to the community, which has always been the potent partner of the PNP
in achieving this accolade.
Since Soria assumed office
on August 6, 2012 he wants the region to and sustain its positive
outlook and recent rating upgrades on account of sustained peace and
order, strengthened anti-criminality campaign and improved fiscal
transparency, among others, as a result of the rigorous implementation
of the PNP Integrated Transformation Program and Performance
Governance System (ITP-PGS). These are all aligned to the priority
programs of the PNP Chief, PDG Nicanor A. Bartolome.
PNP PRO 8 will continue to
undergo transformational change under the present dispensation as it
embarks on a reform program anchored on good governance. These solid
steps has started to bear fruit prior to the leadership of PCSupt
Arnold Rayala Revilla (Ret) projecting the PNP's anti-criminality
campaign to a better trajectory. The strengthening of law enforcement
fundamentals and the inter-agency collaboration among and between law
enforcement agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and all
other stakeholders have significantly improved the peace and order
situation in the region. This has to be carried on, Soria added.
